Athens-Clarke County Loosens Watering Restrictions

Athens-Clarke County Mayor Heidi Davison has signed an order modifying local outdoor water use restrictions to allow two day a week outdoor watering in addition to the existing restrictions that have been in effect since October of 2008. In addition to watering of landscapes, hand washing vehicles and pressure washing structures is allowed according to the odd/even schedule from midnight to 10:00 a.m. A permit will no longer be required for pressure washing. Permits will only be required for weekend watering of newly installed landscapes.

Remember: We can all make a difference in saving water and protecting our community's water resources.

It's STILL Raining! With Drought Alleviated, We Should Continue To Conserve

A word from Chris Butts, of Bogart, Director of Legislative and Environmental Affairs for The Georgia Green Industry Association:

As our traditional spring planting season approaches, we encourage regulatory officials and water providers across the region to react to these changing conditions by appropriately modifying local water restrictions in order to promote the planting of flowers, trees and shrubs.

We stress responsible modifications because all Georgians must realize the culture of conservation must continue even if rains continue and drought conditions are completely reversed. Our industry is committed to the ongoing efforts to encourage efficient water use by promoting efficient forms of irrigation, plant selection and proper planting techniques.

Environment Georgia Announces Athens' Green Wish List

The Athens-Clarke government, along with Atlanta and Savannah, are on the cutting edge for proposed stimulus projects that are environmentally friendly and energy-efficient, says a report released Monday by the nonprofit advocacy group Environment Georgia and reported in today's Athens Banner-Herald.

Georgia will receive $533 million from the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that can be used for green projects like mass transit, weatherizing homes and renovating public buildings, according to Environment Georgia.

Environment Georgia cited several projects on Athens-Clarke officials' stimulus wish list in its 13-page report, "Green and Shovel Ready."

They include plans to request funding to expand Athens Transit bus service, convert buses and trucks to run on cleaner-burning biodiesel fuel, build bus stop shelters and add solar panels to government buildings.
