McGrady abandons state oversight on city water plan
State Rep. Chuck McGrady retreats from a bill that would place Hendersonville and Asheville water systems under state regulators. Instead, he proposes a statewide study by the Legislative Research Commission to assess how water and sewer systems are run, rates set, and funds used, with possible future oversight. Council members and city managers say the shift signals willingness to negotiate locally while keeping a future framework open.
