Most Expensive Water in the U.S.

As the water flows in Lumpkin, so does the $$$$.

The day that we moved into our Dahlonega and Beyond home, a neighbor greeted us with the typical, "Welcome to the neighborhood" salutation. Then, what he said next was jaw-dropping - "Thought you might want to know that Lumpkin County has the most expensive water in the U.S." 

Not exactly something we wanted to hear and certainly something our real estate agent forgot to mention. 

To be honest, those of us served by the Lumpkin County Water & Sewer Authority don't exactly have the highest water bills in the country, but our water costs must be on the top 10 or 20 Most Expensive List.

Right now, the county and city of Dahlonega are haggling over water fees. The county water authority buys water from the city and the city fathers say, "The rates are going up." Who knows? Perhaps, one day soon, we can rightly say, "Lumpkin has the most expensive water in the U.S."
