The Peachtree City Council will hold a special called meeting at 7 p.m. on March 15 at City Hall to discuss and consider the request by Tyrone for WASA to provide limited sewer expansion.

Tyrone has requested that the Peachtree City Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) sell the town 350,000 gallons per day of capacity.

WASA has been meeting to discuss the proposal.

City Manager Jon Rorie in January asked the council to consider authorizing WASA to extend sewer to Tyrone with a maximum capacity of 350,000 gallons per day.

Rorie said WASA has a 6 million gallon per day capacity and is currently using 3.1 million gallons per day.

Tyrone, with a population of 7,000, has 250,000 gallons capacity from Fairburn/Fulton County. That contract expires in 2019. The areas in Tyrone currently on sewer include the Southampton Village Shopping Center, Southampton subdivision, a second John Wieland subdivision on Hwy. 74 North, the new Fayette County fire station at Hwy. 74 and Jenkins Road along with Sandy Creek High, Flat Rock Middle and Burch Elementary, all on Jenkins Road.

WASA currently extends sewer outside city limits to Dogwood Church on Hwy. 74, to the Starr’s Mill school complex on the city’s south side, the Shiloh Mobile Home Park on the east side and two subdivisions on the south side.
