North Asheboro votes on 1.7 million sewer and water bonds
The North Asheboro Central Falls Sanitary District Board explains a $1.7 million bond package for sewer and water improvements set for August 23. Registration by August 9 requires voters in the district to register, with costs broken down into a sewage system, disposal, and water works totaling $1.7 million. Housing and Home Finance Agency plans 4 percent financing. The plan adds about $83,000 first year debt service and $50,000 operating costs, offset by a sewer charge of 70 percent of water bills, with an extra $30,000 needed beyond utilities. An ad valorem tax of 50 cents per $100 value is proposed to cover the gap. The existing system is described as outdated and low-flow, with a proposed $1,000,000 gallon reservoir to improve domestic, industrial, and fire protection flows.
