The Twiggs County Board of Commissioners hereby gives notice that a public meeting will be held to discuss the water improvements project funded by the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund on June 26, 2025 at 12:00 Noon in the Commission Chambers at the Twiggs County Courthouse, Jeffersonville, Georgia 31044.
The proposed project includes constructing a new elevated water tank; new water mains and rehabilitation of an existing deep well. The improvements are needed to remove the Kaolin Heights well from service, provide adequate water pressure under all conditions of flow throughout the distribution system and to comply with the Environmental Protection Division’s minimum standards. The anticipated cost of the project is $ 5,000.000.
The purposes of the public meeting are to:
- Inform the public of the need for improvements to the water system
- Comply with the requirements of the Georgia’s Rules for Safe Drinking Water and with the public participation requirements of Georgia Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Environmental Review Process.
- Encourage public involvement in the development of a plan to improve the water system.
During the public meeting The Board of Commissioners will attempt to identify public preferences for alternative methods of improving the area’s water facilities. These alternatives will be evaluated and included in the Facilities Plan and Environmental Information Document, the major planning document covering the water system. These documents are available for public inspection through the date of the public meeting at the Commission Office, Jeffersonville, Georgia 31044 during the normal business hours.
Your participation is encouraged and considered essential to the selection and development of the final plan to be adopted prior to its approval by the State of Georgia, Department of Natural Resources.
