To concerned – the folks on Backwoods Road are not inside the Century town limits, the last time I looked. They are county residents.

Your point is well taken, though – they are supposed to get service if they are paying for it – the suggestion someone made that the town charge them a small rate might meet legal requirements until they can get better service.

Someone else wrote that Jeff Miller made a big announcement about the two million dollars for the town to upgrade that service – but what’s this about him not even voting FOR the bill that contained the appropriation?

I think if ECUA steps in it would be great….. People need to look back and see what the town of Century has done…NOTHING… The last mayor we had is still in trouble for letting her son have free services… It’s always somthing with this town… It’s not just one person complaing it several… As for trash flying out I guess you didnt read or hear what Larry walker had to say about that: ” If people would tie up their trash in a bag besides just throwing trash in their can then trash would not be flying out. ” I live in Century and it’s pretty sad that I have to talk against them but people need to wake up.. We are not going to have a town.. No one is doing anything to help and when someone does it just gets knock back down.. And when you go to a town meeting it’s silly… All people want to do is fight like little kids… Its sad but true.. If you ask around no one has anything good to say about this town it’s always negative.!!!

Just remember when ECUA takes it over, it is THEIR rates, THEIR service (keep in mind the trash blowing off the NEW trucks for garbage we are dealing with), and o yea when THEIR water goes bad or runs out, THEY will have access to yours. The problem with ALL the government systems is NO ONE thinks it will happen to them and NO ONE wants to think over ten seconds into the future. It is not just drugs people need to say NO to, sweep your porch first, if it ain’t working at your house (ECUA) then don’t try to sell your song and dance to me.

How sad is this…. This whole town is going to be in trouble…. I agree ECUA needs to step in and take over…This town can’t even do things right… If their not robbing folks for charging them an arm and leg for gas and water then they don’t want to give someone services. This town is in need of HELP!!!! When is someone going to relaize this… when it’s to late? No wonder no one wants to live here.

Why can’t they just charge them a dollar for the inadequate service…that way the acknowledge the poor service and at the same time are not in violation of the required fee ordinace…

It is amusing that Rep Miller requested the appropriation for the project, then voted against the budget bill that it was in…saying it was too expensive and had too many appropriations attached to it…lol

The council wouldn’t have had to rescind the “free water service” had they obtained the advice of their attorney BEFORE making the offer to these residents!!

You’d think that maybe just one of the councilmembers would’ve thought to get legal advice before getting themselves (once again) in deep do-do!!
