| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses Sugar Hill Golf Club's problem of a waterlogged course, explaining that "the muni located in north Gwinnett County, Ga., has struggled to remain open since its water supplier more than doubled the amount it was required to use." Describes the beginnings of the problem, which was "when the city sold the [water] treatment plant to the county in 1998...[and] county officials decided that the golf course should take all the plant's treated water and began pumping 500,000 gallons of water a day to Sugar Hill." Discusses how the problem was dealt with, including burying the main truck line to the spray field and installing irrigation above ground to minimize disruption. Explains that "the situation will be resolved when a new state-of-the-art sewage treatment facility opens in 2006." |
