Town of Camp Hill facing $64K question about water

Camp Hill town attorney Charles Gillenwaters along with members of the Camp Hill Town Council wait to see if another member will show up so a quorum is present for a meeting Monday night. The meeting was canceled.

Members of the Camp Hill Town Council are frustrated with the inability to deal with the town’s finances including the possibility of the water being cut off.

For the past several months councilmembers have said they are not getting documents related to the town’s finances for the council to make decisions. The frustration reached epic proportions as members of the Camp Hill council received notice over the weekend the town’s water would be cut off because of a past-due balance of $64,000 to the Dadeville Water and Sewer Board if it did not pay $17,000 by Monday and make subsequent payments on the past-due balance going forward.
