Current Line Projects
April 2010
Operating Reserve Funds are being used to buy materials to continue water line extensions to roads that currently do not have water service. When public funds are used to bring water to an existing county road, property owners may connect to the system by purchasing a tap for just $350 during the construction period. Projects are ranked by the number of existing homes which can be served per mile.
We are now working on a main on Colwell Road, that will tie together segments from Harkness Road to Water Plant Road including a bore under Interstate 75.
Check our current water line priority list for the status of existing county roads without water service. If you would like to submit a petition to update the need for water on your road we will be happy to accept it. Download the petition form by clicking here. Call Marcie Seleb, general manager, at (770) 775-0042 for more information.
We have just completed a gravity sewer project that links existing sewer in the Butts County Industrial Development Authority's Riverview Industrial Park to the 300-acre industrial expansion property near High Falls. We are also working on several grant projects to expand sewer access to the Interstate 75/GA Hwy. 16 interchange area.
