• Holly Hill urges residents to settle $25K in overdue water bills to avoid potential rate hikes (wltx.com) — Holly Hill officials are urging residents with overdue water bills to contact Town Hall and get current, warning that 115 delinquent accounts totaling about $25,000 could eventually force a rate hike on everyone. With roughly 800 water customers in town, leaders say unpaid bills strain the system's operating budget and could mean higher costs even for those who already pay on time.
