On the Droughtwatch
Almost twelve years ago, Douglasville/Douglas County understood that if it was to have a secure water supply for the future it needed to start then. And now it's sitting high...and wet.
A new analysis from a task force created by Georgia Gov. Sonny
Perdue found it would take at least eight years to bring new
reservoirs online.
After an historic drought that saw Lake Lanier drop to a record low, the main supply of drinking water to metro-Atlanta is now full again.
The massive reservoir on Wednesday peaked above "full pool" of 1,071 feet above sea level on Wednesday for the first time since September 2005.
The downpours we've received in recent days have caused problems with our trees and roadways, but metro Atlanta water managers are loving it.
