Your contention that the Dadeville Wastewater Treatment Plant's problem is lack of rainfall is erroneous. There are multiple serious problems at this facility and throughout the city's sewer collection system which have to be addressed. These problems involve operations and procedures at the plant, an inability to handle overloading during heavy rainfall, inadequate capacity to handle the anticipated growth in the Industrial Park, and an antiquated sewer collection system with major inflow and infiltration problems and undersized lines. Lack of rainfall has probably helped the city avoid getting additional Notices of Violations to the 29-30 they already have.

I too have a strong dislike for knee-jerk litigation to address problems. However, if it were not for an initial small group of concerned citizens and ultimately the "threat to sue' by Lakewatch, the public would not be aware of these problems which have been going on since the early 90's. The Attorney General has now filed suit against the City of Dadeville and this action will most likely preclude any other legal action. Whether the problems are fixed is entirely in the hands of the mayor and council of Dadeville. Don't pray for rain to solve these problems, but instead pray that these elected officials carry out their duties and resposibilities.
