Fayette County's

Water Committee is considering moving its distribution plant on Kelly

Drive to land at the Crosstown Water Treatment Plant in Peachtree City

to make life better for residents of the area.

"It's

in a residential area, and the neighbors don't like us cranking up the

equipment at 2 o'clock in the morning," said Water System director

Tony Parrott.

In its meeting

last week, the Water Committee directed engineering consultant Jim Mallett

to draw up a site plan for new facilities at Crosstown, which is in a

more industrial area.

The Kelly Drive

facility was built in 1965, when there were few homes in the area, said

Parrott. Now that subdivisions have sprouted all around the facility,

it's time to go, he said.

"We've

always tried to be a good neighbor," he said.
