You the taxpayers and people potentially affected by any
ecological and environmental problems: do you think you might
want to know?
They vote tonight about what was proposed
at the

26 August 2013 Work Session of the Lowndes County Commission.

Here is the letter discussed (“So at this point, in order to comply with the deadline submitted by EPD, it was necessary to go ahead and work with Lovell on this.”)

Regarding the letter written by Lovell Engineering to GA EPD on behalf of the
county, discussed in the previous morning’s

I just had a question regarding the timing of the letter.
I know it says eight month pilot study.
And I just wanted to know for the record, that
the water is good now, right?
It’s drinkable, and so forth, just for the public to be aware
that it’s not some public health risk out there.

Answer from Utilities Director Mike Allen: Continue reading →
