That is an unacceptable solution until after we've proved it can be better than it is today. Two tests for Fulton County are on the way. If it succeeds, residents might be more accepting of expansion. Also, Fulton has a deal with a firm to build a sewage plant in the Shakerag community in northeast Fulton. The Cauley Creek plant would treat up to 2.5 million gallons a day and relieve the current system.
Operators promise a system with no odor, no noise, no traffic and no problems.
About 300 residents came to a public meeting recently to challenge the county on its ability to deliver on those promises. I'd say it's 180 degrees. I don't know how it could get any worse. What they say, no one believes. But, if it works, the county could use it as a model for expansions at Big Creek and Johns Creek.
