The bill passed almost unanimously with the State Senate at 52-0 and the house with 166-5. Some of the major points of the bill will allow watering outdoors between the hours of 4.pm. and 10 a.m. Even more importantly this bill requires that builders constructing new homes and buildings. have to use more efficient water fixtures, such as aerated bathroom faucets and low-flow toilets.
Governor Sunny Perdue says "I will sign the bill as soon as it lands on his desk." Perdue is also negotiating an agreement, for water-sharing of the Chattahoochee river which feeds Lake Lanier, with our neighboring states, Florida and Alabama, who depend on the natural resource as well.
