When you check

your mail in the next few months, you may find a beautiful survey from

Coweta County.

The Coweta

County Commission decided Tuesday to spend nearly $7,600 on a survey to

residents asking about the county's water quality and Water Department

service.

Water director

Harry Hughes explained the EPD requires counties to send out the survey

and said the county spent $5,700 on it last year.

But last year's

total did not include the time that Hughes and his staff spent designing

the survey and sticking address labels on them.

This year,

Hughes recommended using a professional printer in Louisiana that specializes

in municipal printing.

For the extra

dollars, Hughes said the county could get a two-color professional brochure.

He added the company would also mail out the brochures.

"This

is a total turnkey operation," he said.

The survey

is pretty simple this year, since the county only receives water from

Newnan Utilities. But in the future when the county starts drawing water

from other sources, it will become more complicated, he added.

Some of the

commissioners wanted it made clear that, when the county starts drawing

water from Atlanta, it is not coming straight from the Chattahoochee River.

Hughes said

that information would not be included in the survey, but emphasized all

water coming from Atlanta would be treated first.
