Sewer Issues At Top Of County Concerns, Citizens Told At Oconee County Town Hall Meeting
The responses to the final question made it clear how important a solution to the county's sewer problems is to the commissioners.
James Gaither, 1040 Cumberland Road, north of Watkinsville, asked the final question at the Town Hall Meeting held by the Oconee County Board of Commissioners on Thursday night.
“If you guys could have one thing off your plate right now, or tomorrow morning, what would you choose--to be done with it, don’t have to worry about it for another 10 years?” Gaither asked.
Commission Chairman John Daniell was first to respond, and he had a one word answer: “Sewer.”

Sewers had come up earlier in the evening, as had a number of other issues, but the responses to Gaither’s final question made it clear how important a solution to the county’s sewer problems is for the three commissioners who attended the Town Hall Meeting.
