Water and sewer money possible for Georgia

Several small towns and counties in Georgia await a vote by the U-S Senate today, on whether they'll get money for water and sewer improvements. Part of a huge spending bill includes almost 14-billion dollars for water and sewer projects across the country. Georgia's take could be 55-million dollars.

The biggest chuck of money would go to projects in the metro Atlanta area. Smaller amounts of money just as needed would go to areas such as Toccoa, Moultrie, and Dahlonega. Other areas in line to receive money with a "yes" vote: Chattooga, Banks and Berrien counties.
