RESTORATION PROJECT FOR UPPER ELLIJAY RIVER The situation
of Cherrylog Creek and Goose Island Lake has approached a critical
level whereas the high degree of turbidity in the water and
suspended particles cannot settle. On a 24-7 basis, with or
without rain, the lake is pouring muddy water via the two dam
channels into the upper Ellijay River. If you would like to
support the restoration project or learn more about this issue

WATER CONSERVATION
Despite near normal rainfall the past few months north Georgia & GIHA
remains in an "Extreme" drought area. The eight wells in GIHA are providing
water for our community but good water conservation practices are still
called for.
Remember: "WATER-SAVING DEVICE # 1" is YOU! Please keep practicing water
conservation including:
NO watering of lawns or grassy areas!
NO car washing!
RE-USE water wherever possible!
Here's a long list of water saving habits/practices from the "WATER USE IT
WISELY" website. Please read & implement as many as you can in your daily
use of GIHA well water...more |
