Johnsonville has accrued millions of dollars in debt, which stemmed partly from a $2.7 million general obligation bond. The city committed to paying Florence County back over three to five years, while water and sewer debt will take nearly a decade to repay in full. This action formalizes the city's financial obligations amid the county absorbing city services.
