Oconee County Still Waiting On Details Of Route For Proposed Calls Creek Sewer Line

Oconee County is still waiting on a report from the firm it hired to do survey work for the route of the proposed sewer line down Calls Creek, county Utility Department Director Wayne Haynie said Monday.

Haynie told Jim McGarvey from Friends of Calls Creek that no additional information on the route of the proposed sewer line likely will be available before the meeting the group has called for 7 p.m. on Thursday at the Library in Watkinsville.

Haynie tomorrow night also is to update the Board of Commissioners on Utility Department plans as part of the Board’s regular agenda-setting meeting.

That presentation likely will include discussion of updates to the county’s pump station on Epps Bridge Parkway and an expansion of the sewer line that runs down Daniells Bridge Road and Government Station Road.

Haynie expects to have construction work on the sewer line along those two roads underway in late summer or early fall. They, too, are part of the expansion plans for the Calls Creek plant.

Also on Thursday, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., the Georgia Department of Transportation and the Sounding Board for the widening of U.S. 441 and Bishop Bypass will hold an open meeting to provide an update on that project and time line for future work.

(I expect to have video of the Chamber of Commerce Candidate Forum from this evening uploaded later this week.)
