Violation of U. S. Constitution by City of Whigham, GA

            Dear elected officials of City of Whigham, I came before the city council December 8, 2009 to request city water meter to a mobile home located on my property at 322 Cleon Waldrop Road. I told you then that the water pipe belonged to me and was located on my property. That city had no easement. No member made any motion at this meeting, or two later meetings, to even table for further study. Now I know why. I was told by the Mayor 1/25/2010 that my hookup to my 2 inch pipe would cause David Crawford to raise hell about lower pressure.

            May I remind you that the U. S. Constitution requires equal treatment of all its citizens? The Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, made Applicable to the States through the Fourteenth Amendment, provides: “Nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”

I told George Trulock in May 2010 at his place of business, that city of Whigham had confiscated my water line that is located on my property, that it had extended my water line 2100 feet to the Croley Restaurant, that City had violated the fifth and 14^th amendments of the U. S. Constitution by “confiscation of private property for public use”. He said that he would bring up Constitutional issue before the city council. Did he?

It is unconstitutional not to share what ever pressure there is. The City of Whigham has confiscated my property without just compensation. City of Whigham is in violation of the fifth and fourteenth Constitutional amendments. How did  this happen? By moving my old water meter from 189 Cleon Waldrop Rd. across from school house, down to my old farm house, and locating it so that I could not see it. Then, hooked onto my private water line and ran it 2100 more feet to the south to serve Croly’s Restaurant, June 12, 1998. This water meter was also installed out of sight of the road. This was intentional deception. I have not filed suit earlier because I did not know until December 2009 that this deception had occurred. I was obligated to continue water to my old farm house, but not after city relocated the meter. This was intentional theft of my private property. Also, I never received my meter deposit, further deception.

I know that some of you were not on the city council in those intervening years, but you were obligated to look into it after my three meetings informing you of all the above. You totally failed to address my grievances.

I am advising you individually and collectively that I will bring suit against the City of Whigham for violation of my U. S. Constitutional rights, which I intend to collect for the cost of installation of a community water system.

This is the requisite notification of my intended lawsuit. And that I will publish this letter to Whigham voters.

Sincerely,

George Bivins
