OUTZ COUNTY AGENT A large number of interested residents attended a meeting to secure rural water Wednesday evening, December 16. The Ag* building was packed. I be lieve that everyone is aware that good, clean, fresh water is essential not only to good health but to growth and develop ment The group which met was primarily from the Coldpoint, Mountville, South Harper Ext, and the Rocky Spring areas. The Farmers HomeAdministra- tion who will finance these water districts was represented by our local administration agent, John Patterson. John gave a slide presentation of other wa ter districts in the state and told how these districts work, and are organized, and the be nefits, etc. These areas were broken up into groups and individual com mittees were elected to be re sponsible for canvassing their communities to get an interest indication. A steering com mittee was elected consisting of W.L. Patterson, chairman, Al len Coleman, vice-chairman, Robert Hollingsworth of Cross Hill, John Simmons of Mount ville, Fred Irwin of Rocky Sp rings, Lindsay Fennell of Waterloo, and yours truly as the secretary. We’re going to get water in these areas, there’s no ques tion a>x)ut it in my judgement. It is needed. We’ve got interest ed people that are going to work and we want it to come true. This doesn’t mean that we don’t have a mountain of problems, but we can not permit our prob lems to out weigh our advan tages because we do have a won derful county and good people. We know that there will be a great source of water with the watersheds that are now plan ned and under construction in the Duncan Creek and Rabon Creek areas. These structures will impound sufficient water according to Mr. J.B. O’Dell to keep our county progressing for many years to come. Of course, it has to be in the homes of the people and in the industrial plants before it’s a- vailability will 1* realized. I was very proud to see the turn out that we had at the meeting Wednesday night, and as I said earlier, we are de termined. I would, at this point, like to add that our county needs very badly to have a large waterline extending from Joanna to Clinton, to Laurens, to Gray Court, and to Fountain Inn. Then the laterals out intp the communities from this main line. Do you think we can ever get the Interest and determina tion to get it done? I believe we can.
