Update 2026-01-26<\/strong>: Videos: Water treatment upgrade because GA-EPD Consent Order, Lift Station Pump Repair, Condemnation along Twin Lakes Road, VAWA, Extension Office, Red Cross @ LCC Work 2026-01-26<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nNo rezonings this week, but plenty of purchases, resolutions, and a grant,\r\non the agenda for the Lowndes County Commission.\r\n

\r\nTheir Work Session is Monday morning, and they vote Tuesday evening in their Regular Session.\r\n

\r\nThe county is under a GA-EPD Consent Order about drinking water.\r\nThis is revealed by the agenda packet page for\r\n5.a. Spring Creek Water Treatment Plant Design Build Project<\/a>.\r\nNeither the board packet materials nor the ad for bids mentions where this is.\r\nHowever, previous research indicates it’s the well with water tower at\r\n4245 Hattie Pl, Valdosta, GA 31605,\r\nnear a creek that runs west by Pine Grove Middle School to the Withlacoochee River.\r\n

\r\nThey will vote on spending $214,412.00 on the Spring Creek plant\r\nand $24,400.00 on a sewage pump repair at the Peterson Road Lift Station.\r\n

\r\nThe packet materials don’t say where the Peterson Road Lift Station is, either,\r\nbut it appears to be in the southeast corner of 6201 Peterson Road, east of the I-75 Georgia Visitor Center.\r\nThe sign on the fence says Roadway Lift Station.\r\n

\r\nAnd the county thinks $12,400.00 is a fair condemnation price to get some\r\nroad and drainage right of way along Twin Lakes Road.\r\n

\r\nThat’s about a quarter million dollars they may approve Tuesday,\r\nbefore even adding in the $26,371.00 cash match for a VAWA grant.\r\n

Here is the\r\nagenda<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nThe board packet, received in response to a LAKE open records request, is\r\n\r\non the LAKE website<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nYou may wonder, as I do, why doesn’t the county put its board packets on its own website?\r\n

\r\nMaybe you’d like to ask your County Commissioners that question.\r\n
