Cobb Senators look to keep swimming pools open during drought

ATLANTA (March 25, 2008) – Three state senators have introduced legislation to prevent the state’s Environmental Protection Division from indiscriminately closing swimming pools this spring because of Georgia’s severe drought conditions. Senate Bill 368, authored by Sen. Chip Rogers (R-Woodstock), Sen. Judson Hill (R-Marietta) and Sen. John Wiles (R-Kennesaw), will remove the power from the EPD director to make such a decision.
