Georgia Lawmakers to Consider Governor's Water Conservation Plan
Published: March 02, 2010
ATLANTA (AP) - State lawmakers are expected to take up the
governor's proposed water conservation legislation as Georgia
continues to seek a solution to its water crisis.
Gov. Sonny Perdue last month announced the Georgia Water
Stewardship Act of 2010, which he says will reduce waste and
include incentives for increasing water supply and decreasing
demand. If approved, the measures would take effect in July 2012 -
coinciding with the date a federal judge has set for Georgia,
Alabama and Florida to reach a compromise on the states'
long-standing stalemate over water use.
Perdue is in talks with Alabama Gov. Bob Riley and Florida Gov.
Charlie Crist and has vowed to resolve the issue before all three
leaders leave office at the end of the year.
