Ashton Wood - Gwinnett Water / Sewage

The septic tanks within Ashton Wood are generally 30 plus years old and some neighbors had to do extensive work to their septic systems. It would be great to have an option to connect to a sewer line instead of extensive work that would have to be done. There are neighbors who had to do extensive work to their septic tank already. What would happen if and when those fail? What would be the option if there is no sewer line to connect to?

Ashton Wood has petition Gwinnett County Infrastructure Support of Water Resources to study the possibility of installing a sewer line into our subdivision. It would NOT be required for everyone to immediately connect to the sewer line when it is installed. It would give each homeowner an option of timing of the sewer connection.

Right now, we are waiting for the county to get back to us with the correct information for the possibility and installation of the sewer line. After the information is received, we will call for an HOA meeting with the entire subdivision so that everyone has the correct information to work with. There is no need to work with rumors or old facts, we need the current information to work with.

We were told when the petition was given that the timeframe to do the study and get back could take 6 months to a year.

Ashton Wood - Gwinnett County DOT

Gwinnett County DOT has been spoken with regarding resurfacing the streets in Ashton Wood subdivision. Here is the email that was received after our discussion. In our discussion he indicated that their inspection of our roads would warrant all our roads to be resurfaced.

It was a pleasure speaking with you about your subdivision streets and thank you for accepting my apologies for not contacting you sooner.  Commissioner Holtkamp and Lewis Cooksey, Director of Transportation, had requested that I contact you in April and answer your questions regarding your neighborhood streets and I am sorry that I did not do that then.  Thank you for allowing me to explain our pavement evaluation process to you and share that we anticipate resurfacing your subdivision streets in 2025.  We typically advertise our resurfacing list of streets for bids in late fall and then the contractor(s) will begin work the following year around March or April.  We do not dictate their schedule of work, but we can encourage that certain roads be done due to events or projects that may be impacted by their traffic control and work progress.  Please feel free to save and share my contact information with your neighbors if they have any questions or concerns relating to transportation.

Thank you again for your time this afternoon and I am sorry for not contacting you sooner with this information.

Have a great day, Britton Lockhart | Division Director – Roadway Operations and Maintenance | Department of Transportation | Gwinnett County Government |
