The city of Statesboro has merged its Water-Wastewater and Natural Gas departments into a single Public Utilities Department under one director. Natural Gas Director Steve Hotchkiss has been serving also as interim director over the water-sewer and wastewater treatment divisions since Van Collins retired as Water-Wastewater Department director in July. Collins was a city employee 37 years, all with the same department.
