How the next sewer policy board might look

General agreement is said to have been reached yesterday by a task force studying the future structure of how sewer policy is made in Oconee County. Chris Eleazer, executive director of the Joint Regional Sewer Authority, interprets bottom line from yesterday’s task force meeting was that the county’s state legislative delegation will be asked to appoint a replacement JRSA board of five commissioners. “However, says Eleazer, “there would first be an initial board that would serve as the bridge between the current configuration and the final version mentioned above.” In the current configuration, the JRSA’s member cities — Seneca, Walhalla, and Westminster — appoint the members of the policy board. The recommendations that the task force agree on must meet the approval of the current JRSA board.
