Watering rules won't get stricter for now: "Georgia State Environmental Protection Division director Harold Reheis had said the restrictions might be tightened this month, in recognition of the drought now entering its fifth year in Georgia and much of the East.

Welcome to the new ETL Intranet at http://data/ . An intranet is a private computer network that functions the same as the Internet, but it not publicly available. http://data/ is only accessible from inside the office. Currently, we only have recent company news online but in the future we're hoping to add more information and links. Also, I'm planning to put together a series of brief tutorials to help everyone search online more effectively, check their email remotely and more. Please set the ETL Intranet as your home page. The little house icon way down on the Intranet page will do this for you. If you have anything from your department that you'd like posted, please contact me. PS, Comments/suggestions/questions welcome, too.
