Demorest work plan flags $15–$20 million water-capacity project, directs design and permitting steps
Summary
The retreat work plan lists water-capacity expansion—either a Garrison Road well expansion or a new water plant—estimates a total project budget of $15–$20 million, and directs staff to pursue EPD permitting, engineering design, and a capital-funding stack; Public Works and the city manager were named as team leads.
The March 8 strategic retreat for the City of Demorest identified water-capacity expansion as a top capital need. The consultant report and work plan list two primary options: expand the Garrison Road well or develop a new water-plant facility. The document assigns Public Works and the City Manager to lead site selection, permitting with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD), engineering and design, and creation of a capital funding stack.
CES and staff estimate total project costs in the range of $15 million to $20 million and recommended developing municipal applications and grant strategies to match funding windows. The plan lists discrete near-term tasks including site selection, EPD permitting steps, creating the capital stack and submitting funding applications, and advancing engineering and design work.
The retreat materials show the project as a proposal and do not record a formal council vote to initiate procurement or construction; next steps in the work plan are to return with design scopes and funding requests once grant and financing options are identified.
