Gainesville residents may not pay water rate increases to help fund the planned Glades Reservoir in Hall County, but they could still wind up on the hook down the road. Gainesville City Council approved a joint resolution between it and the county Tuesday night after language supporting the project and the county’s successful application for state funding was moderated. Glades, which is estimated to cost $130 million, is planned as an 850-acre reservoir in the Upper Chattahoochee River Basin of North Hall that could provide 30 million to 40 million gallons of water per day to Northeast Georgia residents.
