Peachtree Flight

Center will be reimbursed up to $2,500 for repairs it made to the bathroom

facility at the building it leases from the Peachtree City Airport Authority.

Last month,

the authority agreed to reimburse an initial $3,500 toward repairing the

problems without viewing a line-item invoice for the work. At Wednesday

night's meeting of the authority, officials from the flight school said

the majority of the $6,020 bill was for repairs although the project began

with the goal of sprucing the restroom up with new paint and new flooring.

The problems

began to unfold as the painting and flooring projects began, according

to Tom Strauch, the contractor who performed the work for the flight center.

According to

a memo from Strauch:

The bathrooms

had suffered sewer leaks, sewer gas leaks and water leaks in the walls

and floors.

The concrete

under the floors had deteriorated so badly that it had to be replaced

before the floors were retiled.

The drywall

and vanities in the bathrooms were also so damaged they had to be replaced.

Plumbing and

electrical wiring also had to be replaced in some cases (although flight

school officials said every effort was made to re-use plumbing fixtures).

It was noted

during the meeting that the building has had several different tenants

before the flight school began using it.
