Solid Waste Disposal.
Crisp County operates a solid waste landfill on Highway 41 South.
Private waste from county businesses and industries is accepted.
Garbage and refuse collection for residential customers of the
City of Cordele is $17.20/month. Commercial and industrial collection
is contracted to a local refuse company.
Electric Power.
The single most noteworthy aspect of the community is the ability
to provide reliable, inexpensive electrical power. Possessing
one of the few debt-free, county-owned hydroelectric generating
plants in the country, Cordele/Crisp County provides some of
the most inexpensive electrical power in the southeastern United
States. The local hydroelectric plant is also backed up by a
steam-powered turbine and a coal-fired generating plant. As
a founding member of the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia
(MEAG), wholesale power is also purchased. When combined with
electrical power generated locally, an exceptionally competitive
industrial rate is available.
It has been the policy of the Crisp County Power Commission
for many years to use the Georgia Public Service Commission-approved
rates for the Georgia Power Company and apply a discount, so
that our total revenues are only those needed to meet operating
costs and make capital improvements.
Natural Gas.
The City of Cordele owns and operates its own Natural Gas Distribution
system. The system is designed to operate at pressures between
24 psig and 35 psig. In addition there are approximately 11
miles of high pressure main with operating pressure up to 75
psig.
The City obtains its gas supply from south Georgia Natural Gas
Company. Gas is purchased on Gl and I1 rates. To supplement
the natural gas supply the City owns and operates a propane/air
plant (Peak shaving plant). The plant is designed to supplement
the natural gas system at peak winter month demand use times.
Liquid propane storage facilities consist of four 30,000 gallon
tanks.
