The story
The Toccoa City Commission's May 11, 2026 work session agenda listed a discussion with the engineering firm Carter and Sloope, without further detail on the topic.
By August 10, the commission's work session agenda specified a discussion of a water line connection with Carter & Sloope. Work session minutes from that day show the commission discussed a waterline connection from the Davidson and Yonah reservoirs to Lake Toccoa and a water infrastructure feasibility study tied to a GEFA planning grant, with a cost estimate of about $13 million for the waterline and a total program of about $150 million discussed.
The same day's regular meeting agenda proposed authorizing Carter and Sloope to apply for a Water Infrastructure Planning Grant.
The commission approved that authorization 5-0, on a motion by Vice Mayor Jamieson, seconded by Commissioner Matheson, to let Carter and Sloope apply for the Water Infrastructure Planning Grant.
