Title
Cliffside Sanitary District Board
body
Summary:
summary
The Cliffside Sanitary District was formed to provide sanitary sewer service and potable water service to portions of the Cliffside community in southeastern Rutherford County. Cone Mills, a large textile company, owned several mills in the community and provided a large volume customer and user, primarily for the sewer system. Cone Mills shut down plant operations in 2005 but churches, businesses, two schools, and the community continue to be served by the system. The operation of the sanitary sewer service is to be managed by the Cliffside Sanitary District Board whose members are elected; however, members who have served on the board have resigned and no one has filed for election to the governing board. Due to deficiencies, the North Carolina Local Government Commission assumed control of the financial affairs of the district. The deficiencies have been addressed and corrected and the Commission staff has recommended that the Commission return financial control to the District. Since there is no active governing board, the County Commissioners must fill the district board vacancies until the next election. At the July 8, 2024 meeting, the Board again approved advertising the vacancies and requesting applications for the Board. The request for applications is listed on the County’s website, and individual letters with an application form attached were mailed to residents living in the district. No applications have been received.
