Forsyth County commissioners took no votes on water contracts with the city of Cumming during a meeting Thursday afternoon called to discuss the topic. The previous 25-year agreement expired in May and the governments have yet to sign a new deal. An agreement is needed because the county does not have a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to withdraw water from Lake Lanier, while the city does.
