Water could be topic of Oct. 1 joint meeting by Leah Justice
Joining water and sewer systems locally could be a topic at a joint town/ county meeting set for Oct. 1 if the Town of Tryon has any say in the agenda. Tryon Town Council met Tuesday, Sept. 17 and heard from commissioner and mayor pro-tem Roy Miller who said Tryon should join a water authority, sell or lease its system.
Miller said the town entertained the idea of a water authority about five years ago during talks with Polk County and the Town of Columbus and City of Saluda, but the talks died. “I think for our citizens’ benefit, we need to look into a water authority again or leasing or selling our system,” Miller (water authority continued on page 4)
