Trial by fire for county water director

Morris Jordan has hit the ground running. The new director of the Walton County Water Department, who has been on the job for five weeks now, has been spending time getting to know his staff and visiting job sites as well as spending a few hours on weekends helping out with leaks reported in the system.

That's great he's out there "fixing" pipes and lines. People need water. I need my water bill that WAS $30-35/month which is NOW $50-60/month for the same amount of water, to return to the same amount it WAS (see above). So what are you doing about that in your trial by fire?

[not impressed]

If you are refering to the NEW DIRECTOR, wait and see, there ARE MANY CHANGES. Not customer helpful or friendly.

Loganville city residents have to have the highest water rates in America, and continue to go up each year.Can we have referendiunm to let Walton County annex us and take over all of the city govt .I Think it would pass and be managed better.

Hey Mr Walker - be careful what you ask for with Wlaton taking over. While I don't live in the city limits and have no info on the rates there, the County water taste awful, there is often a "smell/odor" to it, and my bill for a family of 3 doubled for the same amount of water usage. Either was you are in a bind. But I don't think for 1 minute that the County can do better. Sorry if I have been offensive to you, that is not my intent.
