Hamilton brings Forrest and Kenton online; water vendor data breach reported, city says it was not impacted
Summary
City staff reported Forrest and Kenton water connections are now online after site reviews by Georgia Soil and Water and EPD; a vendor data breach was reported but the city said its systems were not affected. A dump truck delivery was delayed to the first week of July.
Mr. Hood, reporting on water and sewer operations, told the council that the Forrest and Kenton connections are now online following recent work. He said a site review by Georgia Soil and Water and EPD found operations to be "doing OK." The city also expects a dump truck ordered for maintenance to arrive in the first week of July.
City staff additionally reported a data breach at the city's water vendor. According to the city report, Hamilton was not affected because of protections provided by the city's firewall.
The upgrades at Forrest and Kenton affect local residents whose service was extended; the positive site-review comments indicate regulators observed no immediate compliance failures, according to Mr. Hood's update. The delayed truck may slightly postpone routine maintenance but no service interruption was reported at the meeting.
