While I didn't receive any property damage, I know many others did -- not to mention, several people lost their lives. For those that did receive major damage and have no flood insurance, I have no problem in them getting help. With that said, let's try keeping our ppolitical views / opinions out of things, and work on getting things back in order in the community -- there have been several posts on various groups, churches, and org

I believe they will be open....

They're normally closed on Thursdays -- Tomorrow is an Exception......

Per the County's website, the Paulding County Landfill/Transfer Station will be opened Thursday September 24th......I would imagine quite a few folks are in "the clean up mode."

The Advisory is Still On...........I would imagine that once the Water Lines have been repaired throughout various parts of the County, the Advisory would probably still be in effect for 24 hours after that, as a precautionary.
