Polk County Considers Water System Deal

A court decision on the future of the Asheville Water System is expected soon.  The city is challenging a state imposed plan to transfer control of its water system to a regional authority.  In the meantime, a Western North Carolina county is considering a voluntary transfer of control of its water system to a South Carolina Water District.  David Hurand spoke with reporter Jon Elliston with the on-line investigative news service Carolina Public Press about the future of the Polk County Water System.
