By Stan Welch – The West Pelzer Town Council hauled out the checkbook Monday night, paying an emergency water repair bill, to the tune of nearly $20,000 as well as purchasing a new computer for the Clerk’s office and repairing the ceiling in the Town Hall. The repair, involving 14 feet of water line, restored service to six houses in an area on Ponderosa Road. The houses had lost virtually all water pressure, according to Mayor Paxton. “It would take them hours to fill a bathtub. These folks were suffering, and the repairs simply had to be made.”
