Anson County is losing millions of gallons of water. Is a solution in sight?
Anson County is losing over half of its treated water due to aging infrastructure, with 134 million gallons unaccounted for in a single month. County officials acknowledge significant financial waste and cite challenges like a 60-year-old water main and malfunctioning technology. A $9 million project to replace water treatment filters is underway, but funding gaps for critical repairs like a $500,000 generator remain.
