Pickens to pull out of joint water system

PICKENS — Less than five years after forming the Pickens Joint Regional Water System (PJRWS) along with other 
local municipalities and water districts, the city of Pickens has voted to withdraw from the group, citing other needs with the city’s infrastructure that have led to discolored water, water main breaks and other persistent issues, as well as higher costs to the city under the previous plan.
“Our primary goal is to ensure that the residents and businesses of Pickens have access to a reliable and sustainable water supply as quickly and efficiently as possible,” Mayor Isaiah Scipio said in a news release issued by the city. “After extensive study, we have decided withdrawing from the PJRWS is in the best interest of our community.”
The decision came with its dissenters, as Scipio and Councilman Floyd Rogers were drawn into a heated argument over whether the measure should move forward without unanimous support from city council before the vote ultimately passed 5-1 at a special called meeting on Monday afternoon.

“In total, this was right at a $10 million project,” Pickens County Airport administrator Carlos Salinas told those on hand for Friday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony. “That included the runway resurface, a new taxiway and the apron that you see in front of you here.”
Salinas said the project included “seven different types of funds.”
“That’s federal, state and local,” he said. “That’s just to give you an indication of the kind of creativity that happened to make this thing come together.”
The project increases the Pickens County Airport’s ramp space by 60
