Unofficial Returns in Athens and AMWA Elections – Totals Including Early Voting

Proposition: Should AMWA be abolished?

No: 668
Yes: 590

In December 2013, AMWA filed a lawsuit against the city which questions who should pay for the operation and maintenance of Lake Athens, the dam, and the water treatment and transportation facilities. The City answered back by voting to dissolve AMWA. A petition circulated by AMWA, however, caused the issue to be placed on the ballot for voters.

This vote means that the Athens Municipal Water Authority (AMWA) will continue to exist.
