\r\nDid Demarcus Marshall know\r\n\r\nwhen he asked, “The water is good now, right?”<\/a>\r\nabout the\r\n15 “Health Based Violations”\r\nand the 4 “Complete Failure to Report” plus the 1 “Monitoring, Routine Major (TCR)”, all in the last ten years?\r\nMaybe some of those have to do with why\r\n\r\nLowndes County is doing major upgrades to the Alapaha Water System<\/a>\r\nby the end of March 2015.\r\nHowever, given all those “Complete Failure to Report”, how will we know\r\nwhen or if it’s fixed?\r\nThese reports found by Chris Graham.\r\n-jsq\r\n
