go days of water
Athens-Clarke County has approximately 50 days of water left before it

Step F regulates outside watering so that there shall be no outside water usage. In
addition, water may be allocated to specific purposes only. Commercial and industrial users
shall be restricted in accordance with an Emergency Drought/Water Shortage Management
Plan designed to protect the w'ater supply.

“Individually (students) can do little. But collectively
they can do an enormous amount.”

“Most conservation techniques do not cost anything,” Dorsch said, and no one is suggesting people
stop taking showers. The root of conservation lies in “habit changes,” Dorsch said.
Appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines use large amounts of water.
Dishwashers use the same amount of water no matter how full they are. Wait until you can’t fit
any more dishes, then run it.
Many washing machines have a load-size selector so choose a setting that matches how
much you are going to wash.
Also, check all appliances for leaks that means dishwashers, faucets, washing machines
and toilets.

kept at the temporary level

In its endorsement, the
council approved the plan
to move some temporary
workers into benefit-eligi

unspecified period.
The council also
approved the recommen
dation to pay temporary
workers the same amount
as regular workers for simi

Andy Herod, a member
of the Ad Hoc Committee
and an Athens-Clarke

endorsed the plan and
called it “a very complicat

In other business, Senior
Vice President for Finance
and Administration Tim
Burgess discussed the
University’s response to
the Board of Regents’ deci
sion to require background

Burgess said the
University’s reaction is a
"continuing and evolving

Because the Board of
Regents has altered its
suggestions for background
checks, Burgess said it will
take the University a while
to devise a plan.

Univ. seeks answers
to drought dilemma
By KRISTEN COULTER
The Red & Black
The University will
begin a task force to focus
on water conservation in
wake of the recent drought
in Athens and enact sug
gestions from two security
study committees.
During a cabinet meet
ing Thursday, University
President Michael Adams
said Arnett Mace,
University Provost, and
Tim Burgess, the senior
vice president for finance
and administration, will
be heading a task force to
find ways for the University
to further conserve water
during the drought.
Adams said he is con
vinced this is a serious
issue.
“It is demanding the
cooperation of everyone
in the community,” Adams
said. “We need to have a
plan in place should things
become more severe than
they are now.”
Adams also said the
University will implement
the Emergency Prep
aredness and Comm
unications Committee’s
suggestion to create a
stronger 911 system.
Adams said the
University is “in line to
replace the phone system
in the next two years.”
The current phone sys
tem is unable to provide
911 service on a large
scale, according to Opal
Haley, director of the
office of security and

He said while University
Police are prepared to
handle violence on cam
pus, the most likely threats
come from tornadoes, fires
and chemical spills.
Adams said
Wednesday’s test of the
UGA Alert system was
successful, but he
expressed a desire to have
all students, faculty and
staff members register for
the system.
Burgess reported that
of the 11,474 registered for
UGA Alert, about 7,300
are students.
“I believe the campus
community would be
strengthened and people
would be better protected
if every person in the cam
pus community agreed to
participate in this,”
Adams said.
Adams said he debated
requiring everyone to sign
up for UGA Alert but said
he decided against it, cit
ing privacy concerns. But
he said he reserved the
right to reconsider his
decision after one year.
