CALHOUN FALLS, S.C. (FOX Carolina) — Residents of Calhoun Falls gathered in front of city hall on Friday morning to protest the town’s water concerns and express frustration with leadership.

This comes after tense moments boiled over at a Calhoun Falls city council meeting just weeks after a state audit revealed the town is in big financial trouble.

According to the audit, at least $20,000 of Calhoun Falls’ expenses were considered waste or abuse of public funds. It also revealed that the town owes vendors more than $600,000.

State leaders said the town’s more than 100-year-old water system is also costing them hundreds of thousands of dollars.
