Hall County officials said they want assurances and reimbursement if the state turns the proposed Glades Reservoir into a regional water supply project. The county has sunk about $16 million into the project, acquiring land in North Hall and working through a years-long application process with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. “Our intention is for it to be used as water for Hall County,” Commissioner Scott Gibbs said.
