An estimated 60 residential sewage "holding tanks" are in use around Lake Lanier? Some are perhaps as useless as "pipes sunk into holes in the ground"? And that lake provides Tryon's drinking water/ It kind of gives one pause - and not a pause that refreshes. Didn't Tryon once pride itself on its pure mountain drinking water coming down off the slopes above? It did. But the public misun derstands the issue, according to Tryon water superintendent Clarence Henson. For starters, he said the daily tests his department must run show Lake Lanier water to be more pure than the mountain water. And, secondly, he says no matter what source a munici pality pulls its water from, all water put into the system for public consumption must meet the same exacting standards. The Town of Tryon is not currently using any mountain water, but the council did bud get this year for work on the pipe and valve delivery system from its mountain water intakes (Continued On Back Page) DHEC Back To Square One' With Lake Lanier Issue The S.C. Division of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) is back to square one on Lake Lanier, according to J. Michael Panott. Parrott, the DHEC district director, is responsible for sol ving the boathouses-without- legal-bathrooms problems on Lake Lanier. Since there is no sewer line around Lake Lanier, and many of the building lots are far too small for septic tanks, an esti mated 60 boathouse owners have over the years installed holding tanks. These arc illegal in South Carolina, and when area resi dents and Tryon officials began complaining in 1990, DHEC took a hard line. DHEC ruled on July 10, 1991 that all grey water (dish and bath water) discharges must be eliminated by Sept. 1, 1993, and all holding tanks must be elimi nated by Sept. 1,1994. Since that time, however, DHEC officials have sought ways to modify the consequences for Lake Lanier property owners whose investment in boathouses was in jeopardy due to the ruling. DHEC proposed to the Tryon Town Council that it would allow approved holding tanks to continue to be used if the town would take responsibility for overseeing a holding tank (Continued On Back Page) Bill Miller Foundation Grants Have Great Impact One of the Polk County Community Foundation's Slater Teacher Awards' recipients recently returned from an inter national educational experience.
