Audrey Matott in the Greenville Pioneer reports that sewer costs are going up in Greenville. The town board voted Aug. 15 to raise the sewer fees $14 per quarter to $110. The town last raised rates in 2007. Greenville is financing a 30-year loan on the sewer district extension, and the financiers, Environmental Facilities Corporation, recommended the town raise rates to create a fund balance for future repairs. "We have been under one consent order after another and the old plant is getting switched over to the new one, and there is a lot of uncertainty with what's it's going to take us to operate that plant in terms of cost," said Supervisor Paul Macko.
