Utility Department Director will meet with two citizen groups and Board of Commissioners on sewer plans.

Oconee County Utility Department Director Wayne Haynie has a busy week ahead of him.

On Monday Haynie is to appear before a group calling itself Friends of Calls Creek to provide an update on plans to put a sewer line down the creek, and through the yards of a number of residents of subdivisions along the creek.

That meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. in the Oconee County Library in Watkinsville.

On Tuesday Haynie appears before the Board of Commissioners to update it on water and wastewater projects.

That meeting starts at 7 p.m. in the Courthouse in Watkinsville.

On Thursday Haynie will be back at the Oconee County Library for a presentation to Oconeewaters, a local group that monitors streams in the county.

Haynie’s Thursday presentation starts at 6:30 p.m. and will focus on the update of the Calls Creek wastewater facility, the pipeline down Calls Creek, and the county’s water and wastewater master plans.

The agenda also includes a discussion of Oconeewaters Adopt-A-Stream sites and of training programs for persons interested in doing stream monitoring.
