When following GPS and the online maps' directions to The Covington County Water Authority they take me to the incorrect location on Hillcrest Drive. Are there better directions?

Yes, even though the correct address is reported with most GPS and online maps, directions usually will bring you to the Administration Building on Hillcrest Drive.  The Covington County Water Authority is actually a few miles away on Tracks Lane.  We apologize for any inconvenience and online map publishers have been contacted to correct the issue.

THE DIRECTIONS:

If leaving Court Square in Andalusia you would go East on East 3 Notch Street.  East 3 Notch Street will bend around to the left (about 3/4 mile from Court Square) at which time you will be prepared to bare off to the right.  This right will put you on Sanford Road (The BB&T Bank is now on your left).  Approximately 1/2 mile down Sanford Road you will cautiously cross railroad tracks.  The immediate left is Tracks Lane.  Proceed ahead for approximately 1/2 mile and the Covington County Water Authority (driveway) will be on your right.  The signage is quite visible from the road. 

note:  A suitable map will be posted on the Covington County Water Authority page on this website soon.
