Valdosta City Council praises decision to shut down the waste water plant? Are you on this planet? My heart goes out to all those poor people and businesses downstream you totally disregarded. Will you still be singing praises when the EPA fines the City of Valdosta?
The City of Valdosta has shown its citizens again their failure to lead. When SPLOST was an issue, all your efforts went into a new library and auditorium. You need to separate your wants from your needs. The Withlacoochee Waste Water facility should have been your highest priority.
I love how the city does something and the paper is all over it, but the county does something and it gets buried on page 4.
Thank you Valdosta Daily Times for your excellent reporting on “sewage-gate.” When governments become so arrogant that they truly believe they can do no wrong, transparency disappears. The city election in November will hopefully provide a chance for new leadership who will ask the difficult questions and represent the public that elected them.
Somebody should do jail time for the Withlacoochee spill. This is a danger to the health of people downstream. Valdosta is showing no remorse. Instead, they are applauding themselves.
A few years ago, the city had Travelgate. Does this mean we now have Sewergate? Remember all those thousands of dollars city officials spent on trips, meals, and rooms at the Ritz? How many manholes and sewer lines could have been fixed with that money? Shameful.
Why is it when the city gets caught doing something wrong, they blame the newspaper and try to get the editor fired? Keep digging, VDT. Something smells and it’s not just the river.
The city has covered up the sewage spills for all these years and thinks it’s OK. Can the governor please get them out of office so we can elect people who care about us?
I can't believe this — the city raised the manholes upriver from Meadowbrook in ’08 and then Meadowbrook starts getting all the sewage backups in ’09? And they knew it was going to happen? Explains why lawyers are calling me — that sewage is starting to smell like money.
What City Council would praise spilling raw sewage in the Withlacoochee River? We need to vote all of the City Council out of office.

I am a student at Valdosta State University, I pay thousands of dollars in tuition, but I am not allowed to use the Student Recreation Center because I am not taking summer classes. I was told that I have to pay $45 to use the Rec Center during the summer. As if I don't pay enough already... Utterly ridiculous.

Truly embarrassing that our community euthanizes 12 animals daily. Our citizenry hasn’t progressed to understand responsibility. The end result in these horrible economic times is the ongoing suffering of animals. Other locales nearby have solved this problem; mandatory spay/neuter and breeding licenses are needed to stop this scourge. Let’s get serious, please!

I think what the County Commissioners are doing to Deep South Sanitation is outrageous and I think the citizens of Lowndes County should remember this during the next election. They are giving away freedom of choice. This man had this trash collection before Advanced.

The City of Valdosta needs another cable company! Competition is a great thing.

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I'm quite pleased with Advanced Disposal. I'm paying less than I paid for service with Veolia, the service is reliable and they offer a large recycling bin. I don't understand what's "socialist" about offering county residents affordable, reliable service.

Closing the trash drop off was a big mistake. I live in Stone Creek so now I can’t put anything beside the street, now I have to haul it to the landfill and pay by weight. I had to pay $15, then I have to pay the trash pick up monthly. Something is wrong in this picture. I have a lot of yard waste, so now I have to take it to the landfill every time I clean yards.

I live in Brooks County. A while back, a limb fell at the edge of my yard. I called the road department asking to remove it. I was told they could not help because it was on private property. Later driving down Johnson Short Road, I saw the road department removing limbs from a yard. I have found out the limbs were on private property.

Do people in Valdosta not understand that when you lag behind at a green light there are people behind you that will not make the green light due to your inconsideration?

Mosquitoes in the city are growing fast. But sanitation and cable bills in so-called "Metro Valdosta" are growing even faster!

We live in Stone Creek and couldn't be happier with Deep South Sanitation! They are the best. People don't realize that they come get your trash can and put it back on the side of the house! Keep fighting Deep South, and know you have our support!
