Cumming and Forsyth to Enter Mediation Over Water Dispute

Cumming draws water from Lake Lanier, and has long provided it to Forsyth County at an untreated rate of 10-cents per thousand gallons.
That contract expired, and Cumming officials said they will only sell treated water to Forsyth, at a cost of $2.50 per thousand gallons.
Forsyth County leaders threatened a lawsuit.
But after Cumming agreed to hold off on the increase for 30 days while the sides enter mediation, Forsyth backed off its threat.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, former Georgia Supreme Court Justice Norman Fletcher will act as mediator when the two parties meet on Oct. 16th.
