COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Sewer rates in the Town of Irmo went up to a fixed rate of $85, set by the Public Service Commission.
Now, the Town of Irmo is taking a look at severing ties with Blue Granite Water Company and maintaining the sewer system on their own.
Irmo Mayor Barry Walker says residents on a fixed income need a volumetric rate, which would calculate sewage rates based on how much water residents use, instead of one set rate for the entire area.
