Columbus Co. commissioners make new requirement for water connections | Environment

COLUMBUS COUNTY, NC (WECT) – Monday night, commissioners voted to make it a requirement that all new housing developments or mobile home parks within 300 feet of a county water line must be hooked up to county water.

Commissioners say that since the water connection fee was lowered back in March from $500 to just $100, nearly 70 people have signed up for county water.     

The connection price will go back to $500 in October.
