On the road again
Burke County Road Department resurfaced and striped 7.36 miles of county roads utilizing
double surface treatment in 2021 .The roads include Coursey, Autumn, Hatchers Mill and Rose-
dale. All of the projects were complete as of October 27. Plant mix asphalt paving is much
more expensive than surface treatment paving. Surface treatment paving is a good alternative
to asphalt paving and allows the county to maintain many more roads at a lower cost. Surface
treatment paving is also much more effective at preventing water intrusion into the roadbed
than plant mix asphalt paving which prolongs the live span of the road. Surface treatment pav
ing is utilized in all states in the southern U.S. from Georgia to California, according to Road
Superintendent Paul Burke.

Plant Vogtle siren test
Thursday, November 18th.
On Thursday, November 18th at approximately
7 p.m., Plant Vogtle will conduct its annual three-
minute test of the emergency notification system.
During this time, outdoor sirens will be activated
within the states of Georgia and South Carolina, in
the surrounding counties of Burke, Allendale, Aiken
and Barnwell.
This yearly test is designed to ensure you recognize
outdoor sirens so you're prepared in the unlikely
event of an incident at Plant Vogtle.
Before the siren test, the CodeRED notification
system may call residents in the area. Residents
must subscribe to the CodeRED notification
system in order to receive a call. To subscribe,
residents may sign up on their Emergency
Management Agency's website. This test is
being conducted in cooperation with the states
of Georgia and South Carolina and the above
counties.
Georgia Power is committed to protecting your
health and safety. For emergency preparedness

indicate a need to tune into local television or
radio for additional information.
