Residents vow to fight for hydrants

Residents living in the areas of Kilough and Nix Bridge roads are vowing to continue their fight to get fire hydrants in the area. "After election results become available, we will meet individually with those elected to reconfirm or to ascertain their position on the intergovernmental agreement," said Dick McNeill, spokesman for a homeowner advocacy group known as the Kilough Task Force. County commissioners earlier this month struck down a proposed intergovernmental agreement in which Etowah Water and Sewer Authority suggested a partnership with the Dawson County Board of Commissions that would lead the way for fire hydrants to be connected to waterlines in the area.
