Whitehall City Manager Scott Huebler reported during Tuesday's city council meeting that two addresses which cover four active businesses on Colby Street have failed septic systems. This has created a health issue, leading Huebler to declare this as an emergency purchase for the city. It covers approximately 620 feet of sewer line, which is a $30,000 expense. Huebler is confident that the city can begin the process of repairing the sewer lines as soon as possible. The repair process will take between 4-6 weeks. Until they are fully functional, the city and affected businesses are manually pumping everything out on a regular basis and dumping it at the Atlanta Landfill.
