Alpharetta distances itself from solicitation letter

Officials in Alpharetta are advising residents that the local government is not affiliated with a solicitation being mailed to area homeowners. The letters, from American Water Resources, note property owners' responsibility for water service lines.

“While the letter references the Code of the City of Alpharetta, the City has nothing to do with this company and certainly does not endorse it or its products,” said Alpharetta Assistant City Administrator James Drinkard.

American Water Resources is sending the letter to solicit customers for its water line protection program, he said.
