·Ziad Musallam, Sanitary Engineer, and Steve Brown, Regional Planning Director To Discuss Water Tap Policy

Previously the Board had asked the Regional Planning Commission to make recommendations regarding a water tap policy for the County.  Steve Brown, Regional Planning Director, has brought forth the Regional Planning Commission’s recommendation to adopt the Teleflex Waterline Tap Policy for all County waterlines.  Mr. Musallam asked if  this would be adopted just for the Northeast Fulton County Water System or for all lines?  Commissioner Barnaby stated that it should be for all lines.  Commissioner Genter stated that in reading through the policy, it looks like it needs cleaned up as it includes the Village of Lyons being part of the decision making process.  They are not part of the Northeast Fulton County Water System. He has no issues with any existing property owners along the way, however, the policy does not address sanitary guidelines and drainage issues for new development.  He does not want development where there are no services.  There must be rules and regulations to go by for sanitary and drainage issues for new developments.  Commissioner Genter stated that the way the policy is written right now, he is not ready to vote.  Mr. Brown stated they would clean it up and bring it back in for review next week.
