Griffin to vote on water supply contract

GRIFFIN, Ga. (AP) — Griffin officials will soon consider changes to a controversial water contract with Coweta County. That water dispute has been the subject of ongoing litigation. The Griffin Daily News reports that Coweta County and its water authority have spent more than a half million dollars in legal fees to win a change in price. Under a 50-year contract, Coweta is required to buy a set number of gallons of water daily from Griffin. The required purchases increase each year until peaking at 7.5 million gallons per day in 2025. At one point, Cowetta offered $7 million to buy a share of the Griffin water system so it could get the same rates as city residents. The Griffin Board of Commissioners has scheduled a vote on the matter for Tuesday.
