DISCUSSION ON CURRENT FULTON COUNTY SEWER POLICY/PRACTICES.
Community Development Director Tom Wilson
• The reason for this meeting is because he wanted to have a mechanical engineering discussion
about where the lines are.
• On whose property these lines are.
• Which way they flow.
• Where the basin line and the ridge line is.
• For reasons he is not sure of things shown on the map as being basins in some cases are more
than basins.
• The only thing to do at this point is a lot by lot bases and ask Fulton County a number of
questions.
• Which basin is this in?
• Does it have a sewer line on it?
• Can it get access to a sewer line?
• Is it affected by the Inner Basin Transfer Policy?
• A lot of questions, lot by lot and let Fulton County give us an official answer.
• In some cases they may not even know the answer to these questions in that detail.
• In the future, he will print out lot by lot everywhere in the vicinity of the ridge line and ask those
nom. questions that are meaningful to the City Council.
• Then maybe we can assemble all of that information back into some sort of map that will be
easier to read than so many parcel maps.
• Fulton County wants the County Attorney to be the official responder to these questions.

to the fact that Mr. Wooten was not there.
