Wastewater Overview

Wastewater treatment facility The Wastewater Management Plan prescribes strategies and recommendations for the effective management of wastewater flows in the rapidly growing Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District. Management of wastewater flows is necessary for protecting the region’s limited water resources and ensuring adequate water supply, wastewater assimilative capacity, compliance with water quality standards, and support of designated uses. The Plan builds upon existing efforts by outlining adequate treatment facilities and capacities for forecasted 2035 flows. General information concerning wastewater issues in the District can be found in the wastewater/septic system basics section of the website as well as Section 4 of the Plan.
