Augusta Aiken, GA, October 27, 2026 —
An Augusta Commission committee advanced three spending requests for a final vote, including funding for a waterpark feasibility study, additional work by a parks consultant and equipment to test water meters.
The requests are for $79,020 for a study on the feasibility of a waterpark in Augusta, $379,795.19 to pay a parks consultant for additional work, and $458,901 for water-meter testing equipment. The committee’s action moves the requests toward a final vote; the summary provided does not say that the spending has received final approval.
The information available does not identify the committee, explain what additional work the parks consultant would perform, or describe the proposed scope of the waterpark study. It also does not specify the type or quantity of equipment to be purchased, the source of funding for any of the requests, or when the final vote is expected.
No details were provided about the study’s findings or any decision to build a waterpark. The request is described as funding to assess feasibility, not as approval of a construction project. Likewise, the consultant payment is characterized only as covering additional work, without further information about the work or the consultant.
The three requests concern separate purposes, according to the summary. Their advancement by the committee is the only action reported so far. The final vote’s date, outcome and any conditions attached to the requests were not provided.
