Volunteers invited to ‘step into the water’

Local clean-water activist Vicki Soutar could have borrowed from a southern gospel song: “Step into the water. Wade out a little bit deeper.”

Soutar and others encouraged those at the Oconee Library last week to join in a coordinated effort to monitor and test Oconee County’s creeks.

Utility Director Wayne Haynie and Erin Carlson, wastewater supervisor, spoke to the small group gathered, reviewing some of the talking points from an earlier meeting. Not much had changed in the four days, but Haynie wanted to clarify a pronoun used in a previous story.
