McDonough council extends moratorium

The McDonough City Council voted at its Jan. 18 regular meeting to approve a 90-day extension of a moratorium regarding final improvement of any land development projects that require connection to the city’s water system.

The measure was originally passed more than a year ago and had already been amended twice while city officials continued to address concerns about the water system’s capacity.

There is a provision in which a property owner can be granted a waiver depending on the size of construction.
