DeKalb County has spent about six percent of the $1.34 billion it will cost to upgrade its water/sewer system.

The county had to stop work on the first phase of expanding the Snapfinger wastewater plant last fall because of contract troubles.

But the county has begun planning the $250 million expansion, the largest single project in the overhaul, as that dispute lingers.

Other ongoing work includes the demolition of a water intake structure next to the Chattahoochee River and construction of new pump stations for the sewer system.
