Atlanta panel backs $20 million for watershed capital-project design and engineering

Atlanta’s City Utilities Committee unanimously recommended Sept. 29 a proposed $20 million transfer from watershed reserves for capital-program architectural, engineering, design and construction-management services.

The supporting ordinance says the services would help implement current capital projects, address needs identified through master planning, and support urgent infrastructure improvements, compliance and operations-and-maintenance engineering. Ordinance 26-O-1529 received a committee recommendation, not final appropriation approval; the minutes list Oct. 5 at 1 p.m. as the next checkpoint.
