As a Roswell Resident, Will I Be Allowed to Fill My Swimming Pool?
As warmer weather approaches I anxiously wait to find out whether or not I will be able to fill the swimming pool at my new house with water.
I have heard that if the level of drought we are in gets reduced that I could apply for an exemption as this would be my first time filling the pool and because I am the new owner of the house. I came across an article written by Jim Osterman titled, “Pool issue hits home; so how do we react?”, it was published online in the AJC. The article prompted me to call the city of Roswell in an attempt to get some answers.
I called the city of Roswell’s main telephone number and after being bounced around to several departments I was finally put in touch with “Jim”. I explained to Jim my circumstances…being a first time home buyer, filling the pool for the first time…just in case this would make any difference as to how Jim would answer.
Although I didn’t really get an answer, I figured it was still worth posting here. Jim said that the Governor and the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) are set to meet in the next few weeks to discuss this matter. So…there you have it, the most recent update regarding the “pool situation” here in Georgia.
I have an active interest in the outcome of these discussions and will post to this blog as soon as I hear anything!
