Commissioners approve Plan B to bring water to Summer Hill subdivision
Summary
The Long County Board of Commissioners unanimously accepted Plan B from T.R. Long Engineering to connect Summer Hill Subdivision to the Garrison Place well and add a new well in Summer Hill rather than running a county right‑of‑way line from Huntington; the decision was made by motion and vote on March 2, 2021.
Adam Wilkinson of T.R. Long Engineering presented two options to supply potable water to Summer Hill Subdivision: Plan A would run a water line from Huntington Subdivision through county right‑of‑way to connect nearby systems; Plan B would connect Summer Hill to the existing well in Garrison Place Subdivision and add a new well in Summer Hill.
Commissioner Jeremy Hall moved to accept Plan B; Commissioner John Reddish seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The transcript records the board’s adoption of Plan B but does not provide engineering cost estimates, construction schedule, or funding source for the work.
Why it matters: approving Plan B commits the county to the connection approach described by T.R. Long Engineering and determines the likely capital needs and right‑of‑way impacts for residents in Summer Hill, Garrison Place and Huntington subdivisions. The transcript does not record whether the county will fund the work from SPLOST, grant funding, developer contribution, or another source, nor does it show a timeline for construction.
