Gwinnett police announced that car break-ins are on the increase. They say that cars are being struck in and around at the aquatic center area on Rockbridge Road in Lilburn. “Middle of the day quick smash through the window,” Gwinnett Police Cpl. Jake Smith said. “People are grabbing what is just left out, or the property they have seen them load into the trunk.”

Gwinnett County septic system records have been digitized and incorporated into the Gwinnett County GIS database. There is no cost to browse the online GIS database.

For the uninitiated, the GIS database has a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it there’s a lot of beneficial information readily available. For the rest who might be familiar with the GIS be warned that it has been updated including the web address.

To get to the GIS:
Go to www.gwinnettcounty.com and select GIS Data Browser from the Popular Links pull down menu.
Or click here:
http://www.gwinnettcounty.com/portal/gwinnett/Departments/InformationTechnologyServices/GeographicInformationSystems/GISDataBrowser
Or click here:
http://gis.gwinnettcounty.com/OnPointWebsite/WebPages/Map/FundyViewer.aspx

Now, I’ve tried a number of different browsers with this particular application and have found that MSIE is about the only viable option. Additionally, you’ll have to allow popups.

It will be extremely helpful to you to have your parcel ID available to search for your property. Otherwise you might be in for a lengthy search. Your parcel ID is available on your property tax bill.

If you have your parcel ID number open the GIS app as described above then mouseover the “Searches” link found at the upper left under the GIS logo. Select “Parcel Search” from the drop down menu.

Once you have your property in focus click on the “i” button on the app’s toolbar. This will change your cursor to a crosshair (+). Now, click on your property. A popup window will appear with another drop down menu. Select “Septic tank parcels” from this list and you will be provided some dialogue along with a “Doc name” link. Click on this link and a PDF copy of your septic system will generate.

There are other handy bits of information from this same drop down menu such as “Land Parcels” which will generate data including purchase price, purchase date and property valuation.

   The county has no record of our septic tank??? Any reason why?

   I would recommend that you contact the county and ask them.

   That’s really strange, are you sure that you’re on septic and not sewer? If I’m not mistaken multiple government agencies require septic records for environmental impact reasons. If you’re sure that you are on septic, I’d send a certified letter to Gwinnett County specifying that you indeed have a septic system and that you’ve contacted the county, spoke with whomever and that they relayed that there were no records for your septic system. Might save you some headaches in the future…

Updated June 2, 2011

The Georgia Water Stewardship Act signed by Governor Sonny Perdue went into effect June 2, 2010. The bill allows daily outdoor watering for purposes of planting, growing, managing, or maintaining ground cover, trees, shrubs, or other plants every day from 4:00pm – 10:00am as long as a shut-off nozzle is used.

All other outdoor water usage (e.g., washing cars, personal pressure washing) is to follow the watering schedule based on street address shown below:

Monday - Even addresses
Tuesday - Odd addresses
Wednesday - Even addresses
Thursday - Odd addresses
Friday - No other outdoor water usage is permitted
Saturday - Even addresses
Sunday - Odd addresses

Frequently asked questions about outdoor water use:
I heard I can water my yard every day. Is that true?
Yes. Citizens in Georgia can now water any day of the week, regardless of your address, between 4:00pm and 10:00am as long as a shut-off nozzle is used.

Can I also wash my car or pressure wash my house any day?
No. The new state law only relates to landscape uses—the odd/even schedule remains in place for all other outdoor uses.

Are parks included in the new schedule?
Sports fields and parks are exempt from the hourly restrictions. These areas may be watered any time or day.

If I put in new landscape, do I have to water between 4:00pm and 10:00am?
No. Newly installed landscape is also exempt from the hourly restrictions for the first 30 days following installation.

What about drip irrigation?
Drip irrigation is completely exempt from the outdoor rules. It may be used any time or day.

What exemptions exist to the new hourly restrictions?
• Commercial agriculture
• Alternative sources of water (grey water, rain water, condensate, etc.)
• Irrigation of food gardens
• Irrigation of newly installed or reseeded turf for the first 30 days following installation
• Drip irrigation or soaker hoses
• Hand watering with a shut-off nozzle
• Water from a private well
• Irrigation of plants for sale
• Irrigation of athletic fields, golf courses, or public recreational turf
• Installation and maintenance of irrigation systems
• Hydro seeding

Are professional pressure washers hired to wash my house subject to restrictions based on my address?
No. Commercial businesses are exempt from day of the week restrictions.

Can I have a charity car wash on any day regardless of the address?
No. Unfortunately, charity car washes, like at home car washes, are subject to the odd/even schedule. This is determined by the address of the facility hosting the car wash. Partnering with a professional car wash is exempt from the odd/even schedule due to the company’s professional exemption.

I was paid a visit today, at my home, by Michael Allen Buckner who has an extensive arrest record for theft by deception. He came to my door asking for gas money or gas stating that he lived around the corner and had run out. I told him that I recognized him and he hurriedly left. He was driving a dark blue Jeep Cherokee 4×4 with a heavily damaged front end leaving the radiator exposed. I believe the tag number was BQZ 5117.

I immediately called Gwinnett County Police at 770-513-5700 to report the incident. Officer Hall with GCPD arrived at my home within just a few minutes to take my statement. I provided him the postings from this website along with his mug shot and data. Officer Hall stated that there was a flyer of Michael Allen Buckner circulating around the precinct and that they were pursuing him. Officer Hall stated that anyone spotting him should call 9-1-1 immediately.

   From what I gather there would be another attempt at the stadium the following morning. If weather doesn’t permit then they’ll try that same evening at the stadium. If that doesn’t work out they move to the gym, but seating would be restricted. But this is hearsay and not the gospel.

The Gwinnett County fire department is reminding citizens about Georgia’s annual total ban on outdoor burning from May 1st to September 30th.

The Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) imposes the ban to comply with Federal Clean Air Regulations.

Some open burning is still allowed with proper permits — fires for agricultural practices zoned RA-200/residential agricultural, a forestry service prescribed burn and bonfires for activities sponsored by educational, civic or religious groups.
