Oconee County Seeking Easements From Property Owners For Sewer Line Along McNutt Creek

Oconee County, having reached a settlement with Jennings Mill Country Club over easements for the McNutt Creek Sewer line from Jimmy Daniell Road to Jennings Mill Road, is now turning its attention to the other property owners across whose land the sewer line will run

The line will cross 17 properties not owned by Laniertindall LLC, owner of the country club.

Of those 17 properties, 10 have homes built on them.

So far, none of the property owners has spoken up publicly against the project or the county’s need for an easement on the property.

Wayne Haynie, Oconee County Utility Department director, said work on the easements has been ongoing for two years and the department will come back to the Board of Commissioners with requests for compensation once the agreements have been reached.
