The Lula City Council approved several expenditures aimed at mapping out parts of the city’s wastewater treatment plant, which went online earlier this year.

The city agreed at the council meeting Monday night to have the Georgia Mountains Regional Commission use its GIS and GPS technology to chart where the mainline runs from the old pond to the new plant, as well as document the location of the relative valves. The total cost for the projects is $820.

“We know where everything is now,” Mayor Milton Turner said. “But as time goes on and everything is covered up, if we have this done, people here after us can walk right in and find it.”

Additional mapping costs approved by the council during its regular council meeting Monday included $160 for the commission to draw a redistricting map in line with the 2010 census population shifts. Another contract was awarded for Lula’s projected annexation map. The commission will bill out at $80-an-hour, but the project will not exceed $1,000, the council decided. But city manager Dennis Bergin said expected the estimate to come well below $1,000.

The spending approvals were balanced by news of a check from the state for $38,160. The figure represents the sales tax reimbursement owed to Lula for costs associated with the new water treatment plant, Bergin said.
