Here I is ;D
Just to make sure everyone is on the same page.Water from the Etowah River must be pumped into the reservoir to fill it.Richland creek does not have the flow to sustain a reservoir.
Everyone down stream from redtop dam is gonna try to stop this,starting with the city of Cartersville.
Why Cartersville too?.....glad you asked.
Where does the city of Cartersville wastewater go?.....Right back into the etowah river,where there must enough flow to mix with their treated effluent.
The city of Rome has an intake on the Etowah,they are gonna pitch a fit and try to stop us from taking 35 million gallons a day from the river.
You know the state of Alabama will take us to court over water rights.
Just look at the Hickory Log Creek Reservoir,that project went over budget by 100 million dollars and they still haven't made a penny.Matter of fact,the city of Canton wants to sell their share because it's too expensive.
Paulding County has at least 25 years left in a contract with Cobb County Marietta Water Authority to buy our water from them.Most folks want it built so we will have our own water supply.I haven't seen any applications for permitting of a water treatment plant.Yeah,there are drawing showing a plant,but it's just for decoration.
I would love to have that reservoir built,it's very near my house and would love to have a water treatment plant that I could run.I just don't think it's gonna happen in the near future.
