Financial Impact:By accepting these roads and storm drainage installations into the County
system and after the 18-month maintenance warranty by the
developer/contractor for the roads and storm drainage has expired, all future
maintenance and associated costs will be borne by Augusta, Georgia. By
acceptance of the utility deed, all future maintenance and associated costs
for water and sanitary sewer installations will be borne by Augusta, Georgia,
and positive revenue will be generated from the sale of water and sanitary
sewer taps and monthly billing of same.
Alternatives:1. Approve the deeds of dedication, maintenance agreement, and road
resolutions submitted by the Engineering, and Augusta Utilities
