They`ll be back.

Was it the shifting of watershed water that did that?Shifting all this water from one water shed to the other meanwhile miles downstream the finest oysters in the US have collapsed in Apalachicola bay and may not come back.

no, it is drinking water. They tied the 2 systems together with a 16 inch line back in 2007. There was a question of the legality of pumping from one watershed to another, but apparently they worked it all out.I was thinking it was Clarksville, is it treated waste water? Whichever I guess they finally figured out a way to legally pump it from the one to the other.
I found a PDF explaining that. Looks like Habersham County needs water.Toccoa is pumping over a million gallons a day from the Savannah river basin into the Chattahoochee river basin
The report I posted was 2009 though. I get you it's treated water not treated waste water.no, it is drinking water. They tied the 2 systems together with a 16 inch line back in 2007.

The Water Authority contracted with Toccoa for one million gallons of water per day with the possibility to increase up to three million gallons per day, as needed. The source for the contracted water would be Yonah Lake.
The winning bid came from Patterson Pump Co. The proposed new pump station was a factory-built, Patterson Flo-Pak® Integrated Pumping System in an all-steel, above-grade enclosure.

I used to buy pump parts from Patterson Pumps.
Yeah, that would have been a kick in the pants, lol. Wow, it's a lot bigger place than I realized.shoot, Patterson would have probably given them a pump to keep the competition out of Patterson's backyard. I don't think they would like the idea of being in Stephens County and having someone else's pump pumping Stephens County water
Also all the water flowing eastward from Peachtree St in downtown Atl flows to the Atlantic, while waters flowing westward all go to the Gulf.And it's a pretty long river starting way up in the mountains and keeping the same name to Chattahoochee, Florida? Interesting that in that location the streams flow north if above the Tennessee Divide, or the Eastern Divide? Either flowing to the gulf or Atlantic.
I remember years back they wanted to pump water from one watershed/basin over the Atlanta one. Then when they weren't allowed to do that they were going to pump water out of a treatment plant from one to the other. I can't remember if they were allowed to do that either.
They are pumping from the Toccoa line to either the Clarkesville or Demorest water system. I can't recall right off which oneI was thinking it was Clarksville, is it treated waste water? Whichever I guess they finally figured out a way to legally pump it from the one to the other.
They are pumping from the Savannah watershed to the Chattahoochee water shed. They are adding water to the Apalachicola Bay by doing so.
