The Barrow County Water and Sewerage Authority informally agreed this week to propose a rate hike that would nearly double the cost of wholesale water sold to the county’s municipalities. Additionally, members expressed interest in taking over all business matters and funds management for the county's wholesale and water transmission system, a move that would increase the BCWSA’s control over the added revenue expected to top a million a year.
For the full story, see the July 25 issue of the Barrow Journal.

Good move in terms of getting control away from the BOC.
Let's see if Yearwood cry's like a 2 year old about this or does the right thing and helps them push this through.

Please don't give away the water utility right before you hire a county manager. The manager should have experience in public utilities and can help address the excessively high water rates we pay.
