Camden City Council approved first reading of an ordinance to issue public utility bonds not to exceed $7 million during its June 23 meeting. The bond issue is one of several proposed funding sources for a major infrastructure improvement project slated for the city of Camden, which consists of updating water and sewer lines as well as undergrounding electrical infrastructure in the area between Kendall Mill Village and Lyttleton Street, according to Camden City Manager Mel Pearson. The funds generated from the bonds will only be used to pay for the electrical upgrades.
