Weimar City Council lengthily discussed the origins, resolutions and costs to the dirty water reports before approving a $200,000 budget amendment to begin work, Thursday, July 24.
Councilman Carlton Tucker voiced strong displeasure and frustration over a lack of action on the dirty water being “a pretty standard practice over the years.” Community members echoed his remarks with complaints about the slow timeline and having to purchase personal filters. Weimar City Manager Donald Dixson took responsibility and explained two main causes of the dirty water: deadend water lines and old, rusty pipes.
“My apologies. It’s taking us a little bit longer to move in the direction of getting these repaired. It’s quite more extensive than I had imagined, but we are working on it,” Dixson said.
