Yesterday was rough for the #clarkesvillegreenway but today the recovery begins. This will be an easy task compared to what many of you were dealt. Thinking of all of you along the #soqueriver #chattahoocheeriver and beyond as you face the day after, especially our farmer friends and neighbors.

The Habersham County Sheriff’s office urges anyone whom lives south of Log Cabin Road on the Chattahoochee river to be aware of a possible flash flood from a fa...iling private property dam. The Sheriffs office also asks that you consider evacuating the area for at least 24 hours until the water has time to recede. Log Cabin road is in the Fairview community. See more

While the flood waters may be receding in some places, they are still increasing in others. Please be careful and stay safe! You can check the City of Clarkesville-USGS gauge to view current water levels. https://waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/uv?023312495

I know many of you are out assessing flood damage right now, but please keep in mind that when the water is up, so are bacteria levels. Please use caution and wash well if you get water on you! Best to wait if you can. @clarkesville greenway.

On Saturday, September 26, the Soque River Watershead Association held a Rivers Alive Clean Up in Cornelia, at the Camp Creek Reservoir. A total of eight volunt...eers, picked up an estimated 165 pounds of trash and volunteered for 20 hours! Thank you! #corneliageorgia #soque #corneliamainst #nature #cleanwater #outdoors See more

Good morning! Hope to see some of you soon!

The skies are clearing for this Saturday! Please join SRWA and Cornelia Main Street this weekend to give a little love back to our community!

Recycle! (But first, Reduce and Reuse!)

Hurray! Come out for the trash, stay for the excellent social distancing. #pittspark #sweepthehooch
