Lake Peachtree dredging may expand

Fayette County’s plan to dredge Lake Peachtree in Peachtree City may include more work to improve water quality.

City attorney Andy Welch told the City Council of Peachtree City last Thursday that the county has offered the city the option of removing more built-up silt along the lake’s eastern shore, but the additional cost would be between $400,000 and $1.3 million.
