The Goal of Clean Water Atlanta
Clean Water Atlanta is the City of Atlanta’s comprehensive and long-term plan to ensure clean water in our great city for the next generation. The goal of Clean Water Atlanta is to create the cleanest urban streams and rivers in the country within a decade.
Clean Water Atlanta’s critical task is to manage the overall planning, engineering and design, construction, and regulatory monitoring and reporting for all projects and related activities required to comply with two Federal Consent Decrees and a State Consent Order, to improve water quality throughout metro Atlanta, secure drinking water facilities in accordance with national homeland security guidelines and provide holistic management of the City’s resource operation.
Through the programs associated with Clean Water Atlanta, the City of Atlanta will establish, operate and maintain state-of-the-art water resource and infrastructure systems. Clean Water Atlanta will also enable the City to meet water quality requirements in the near and distant future.
