The facilities plan will include a lot of these alternatives and requirements of the system. Tim Begley reported that he has been looking at a possibility of turning the abandoned Hwy. 70N water line and using it for moving the effluent to the Caney Fork. He had a brief conversation with TDEC about the potential and they encouraged him to continuing looking at it as an alternative and that it should be part of the facility plan.

Public Comment Mayor Graham opened the floor for comments from the public.
