Survey: Chattahoochee County residents prioritize water reliability, sewer and a grocery store
Summary
Resident survey excerpts included in the plan show recurring priorities: improved water quality and pressure, new sewer infrastructure, more food and restaurant options, road maintenance and preserving small‑town character.
Resident survey responses included as an appendix to the comprehensive plan emphasize basic service and economic needs: frequent comments call for improved water quality and pressure, a centralized sewer system, road repairs and a grocery store or more restaurants.
Answers collected July–October 2025 show recurring themes. Multiple respondents cited water outages, low pressure and chronic leaks; others urged sewer expansion so the county can attract businesses. Economic desires included a full‑service grocery, hardware store and restaurants. Many responses also expressed a preference to retain the county’s small‑town character while improving essential services.
The plan’s public outreach section documents a June 24, 2025 initial public hearing and several work sessions used to gather input, including the resident survey. The plan and appendices provide contact information for Allison Slocum of the River Valley Regional Commission and Lisa Bickel, the county clerk, for residents seeking more information or wanting to submit comments ahead of the final Dec. 11 hearing.
The survey excerpts are anonymous and reflect individual views; the plan does not present a weighted or fully tabulated statistical analysis of all responses in a single chart, but it does summarize predominant concerns and uses those priorities to help shape the work program.
