"And of
course, we are continuing to look to future water sources such as West
Point Lake and the Chattahoochee River," he said.
If projections
are correct, McGuffey said, by 2020 Coweta County will have access to
38.9 million gallons of water per day with an expected demand of 30 million
gallons per day, which is enough to provide adequate water for a population
of 300,000.
McGuffey said
the county is getting a bargain in its dealings with Atlanta.
"The connection
cost approximately $1.7 million, but nearly 80 percent of that cost will
be reimbursed by the city of Atlanta through reduced water rates. The
Eastern Connection is costing some $2.4 million with some 50 percent of
the cost being reimbursed by Atlanta."
