Athens Council interviews for utilities general manager

By Karen Middleton

“I put a tracking system on all the vehicles in the gas department to make sure they went on the calls,” said Carter. “It gives a means of following up.”

When asked their greatest accomplishments since coming to work for Athens Utilities, Scroggins listed: no rate increases in 12 years (only those incurred by the increase in power passed along from TVA), two new electrical substations and the cutting of losses by thousands of dollars a year.

Carter listed his achievements as the securing funding and building “Leak City,” a testing facility on Sanderfer Road that municipal and private gas companies from across the nation use to train workers in safety; the replacements of all cast iron gas pipes throughout the city and increasing natural gas customers from 3,000 up to 7,000.
