Clayton and Rabun Co. ready to move forward on Water Consolidation

Now that a Service Delivery Strategy (SDS) has been reached between the City of Clayton and Rabun County, the two governments are ready to move forward with talks about consolidating water services, says Clayton Mayor Kurt Cannon.  “Now that we got this cleared up, we’re ready to move forward on another big step for the community and move forward in looking at consolidation.  It will take a little time.  There are a lot of numbers and things that we’ve got to clear up on the city’s side and figure out how the authorities can work together and move that forward.”  The city and county reached an agreement on the SDS on Thursday at a joint spell called meeting.  The SDS gives local governments and authorities the opportunity to reach an agreement on the delivery of services in an effective and cost-efficient manner.
