LAWRENCEVILLE | State takes next step toward building water supply
Feb 22, 2012 at 5:12 AM

ATLANTA -- Gov. Nathan Deal's administration is hosting three workshops for local officials seeking state funding for water supply projects.

The Republican governor has proposed spending $300 million over four years to pay for projects such as reservoirs that increase Georgia's water...more supply. The state has been locked in long-running water fued with Alabama and Florida that's headed for the U.S. Supreme Court.

The workshops will be held Feb. 24 in Lawrenceville, March 2 in Macon and March 9 in Tifton.

Deal has said Georgia needs to build its own supplies of water. He wants the funding available to help defray the planning costs for the large infrastructure projects.

Critics say the funding would be better spent on conservation and would cover a small fraction of the cost of building a reservoir.

It's Termite Season - Can You Really Do Your Own Termite Control?
Feb 20, 2012 at 7:01 AM

As spring time approaches and the termites are out in full force, the question is often asked whether or not you can do your own termite treatment. While there are many great professional companies that can do a good job of getting rid of termites for you, it’s no secret that their services...more will cost you an arm and a leg, particularly for a termite treatment.
