Upgrades set for Rabun County Redundancy Water Main

Upgrades are scheduled for the Rabun County Redundancy Water Main, says Rabun County Water and Sewer General Manager Brendan Thompson.  “Our redundancy line is a 12-inch duct line water main that we are designing, basically from the Golf Course to Yorkhouse Road.  The two big issues that I updated the Board on was the addition of a phase 3 design, which would bring an extension from Wolffork Baptist Church down to U.S. 441, which would make us have a complete loop on the north end and help feed that redundancy line.  Also, we had done all of our utility locations.  So, we are moving forward with our alignment.  Our big kind of hold-up on that project right now is making sure that we get the latest plans from the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and finding out what their exact schedule is.  So, we are moving forward with that but with the understanding that GDOT still has to get us some information.  It’s a really good project.  I’m really happy to be working on that one.”  The timetable for the project will be announced in the coming months.
