Sewer Line Project Planned for Fair Play/I-85 Area in Oconee County

A permit for a project to bring a sewer line to Fair Play and nearby I-85 could be submitted to the State as early as this week. Engineering firm Davis and Floyd plans to send the formal application on behalf of Oconee County and the Joint Regional Sewer Authority. Surveyors along the four mile stretch of Oconee’s portion of interstate highway said they have located a gully, around which they will have to divert the new line. After the application is filed with DHEC, property owners will be contacted to request easement grants for digging the line. When the project is completed, it will allow service from the Golden Corner Commerce Park to the interstate, which could be the site of future commercial and manufacturing developments.
