Water Authority continued from 1A
afford to sit there and wait months and months to get
your sewer taps.”
The authority is in the process of upgrading its Mid
dle Oconee treatment plant to treat 1.25 million gpd.
In the meantime, the authority is making changes at
the plant in hopes of obtaining EPD approval to treat
up to 800,000 gpd until the 1.25 million gpd project is
completed and approved.
Klerk noted the board has an obligation to serve
pre-paid connections before committing to any new
connections. Some of those pre-paid connections were
purchased 18 years ago.
“We are contractually bound to provide those and we
are seeing a lot of growth in subdivisions where there
was pre-sold capacity,” Klerk said.
PURCHASE CAPACITY?
Authority board member Christopher Nichols said
he would like the authority to consult with some of the
towns the authority sells water to and see if they will
consider allowing the authority to purchase some of
their sewage capacity. The authority has a long stand
ing service agreement with the City of Jefferson, but
the town is in no position to accept any more sewage
from the authority Klerk said.
Klerk said he and authority board member Don
Clerici met with Braselton regarding the purchase of
some of its sewage capacity. The authority would have
to run four to five miles of force main and retrofit a
pump station to do that.
“These are not things that are done overnight,” Klerk
said.
With the need for project engineering, rights-of-way,
and purchase of easements, that project could take up
to a year to complete. The authority would need to
determine if it is worth the expense of entering into
an agreement to purchase capacity from Braselton - a
project that could cost in the neighborhood of four to
five million dollars — or continue to work on the Mid
dle Oconee expansion.
According to Clerici, Braselton has a million gallons
of capacity the authority could purchase, of which
300,000 gallons could be used without any immediate
upgrades to the pump station.
“They can take 300,000 gallons today at the pump
station on Hwy. 124,” said Clerici. “All we have to
do is get there. This is nothing you are going to jump
out and start today and do tomorrow - I don’t want to
over simplify it because I understand — but it is not an
impossible feat.”
Authority chairman Dylan Wilbanks asked about the
timing.
“The numbers that are being discussed are not num
bers that just shock anybody’s conscience and I think
they are doable, it’s just how fast can it be done. Can it
be done fast enough to help?”
Clerici indicated it could.
“If it’s something that you want to do - there’s noth
ing in the way,” said Clerici.
Engineer Trent Lard with Sweitzer Engineering will
work on a proposal to determine an estimated project
cost to connect to the Braselton system.
Although Wilbanks said there is not a moratorium on
sewer connections. Buchanan disagreed.
“If you can’t use it for eighteen months, it is a mor
atorium, no matter how you phrase it,” said Buchanan.
Buchanan again withdrew his application for waste-
water and will consider resubmitting it for the board to
address during its July meeting.
OTHER BUSINESS
In other business, Beth Grimes with Bates, Carter
and Co.. LLP presented the authority’s annual audit
report. The authority received a “clean” opinion, the
highest level of assurance an entity can receive on an
audited financial statement.
Jefferson BOE continued from 1A
In other action last week, the Jefferson Board of
Education:
• approved a temporary spending resolution for July
until the system’s LY2019 budget is finalized.
• declared a long list of items surplus, including
some textbooks that will be sent to Texas schools
affected by last year’s hurricane.
• amended the system’s policy on homeless students
to conform with state and federal changes.
•approved spending $474,000 for 1,200 new
Chromebooks as part of the system’s move to provide
every student access to a computer.
• heard a financial report that indicated the system’s
reserves at the end of the fiscal year June 30 may go
up from $4.9 million to around $5.1 million.
• heard a facilities report, including the status of a
new roof, painting of 11 classrooms and refurbished
restrooms at Jefferson High School and a total ren
ovation of the media center at Jefferson Elementary
School.
• heard a report that the system had received a
$49,400 facilities safety grant. Those funds will go
toward an ongoing project to have more security cam
eras in the system’s schools.
• approved an application for the system to be a
“Governance Team of the Year.” Only 31 systems in
the state met the criteria to apply for the honor.
