Perdue sighting in Gwinnett
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A couple of weeks ago, we noted that Gov. Sonny Perdue hadn’t been seen much around Gwinnett since his re-election.
Last Wednesday, the governor was the featured speaker at the Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful luncheon in Duluth. It’s an annual event.
Perdue spoke mostly about the need for “a statewide comprehensive water plan.”
Perdue pointed to statistics that showed that water use is growing faster than population. Between 1985 and 2000, he said, the state’s population of water customers grew by 44 percent. During the same period, water use grew by 50 percent.
“We need a thoughtful, unified plan that truly meets our long-term needs for a stable, secure and clean water supply,” Perdue said.
Public hearings on a draft of a proposed comprehensive water plan for Georgia are being held around the state. The final plan is expected to be presented to the Georgia Legislature next year.
