Glad to be informed about infrastructure working happening in Downtown Augusta – however I wonder why Georgia Power & Augusta-Richmond County didn’t inform the public sooner?
Also, I wonder what we’ll find at the bottom of said Canal?!?
If it’s anything like all the previous times, they’ll find a bunch of trash and maybe a car – not much else. If you’re a treasure-hunter, you can also search the muck across from the Powderworks; long ago there was a garbage dump near the cemetery, and there are a few stray bottles and stuff around there.
Can they drain the Augusta Commission swamp while they are at it?
I remember when they did it 5 years ago, found a few cars in front of the mills if I recall?
Will Lake Olmstead go down as well?
The canal need to be dredge especially at 13th street To prevent flooding in Downtown. Let me take this time to thank the Canal Authority for what they do with little funding.
