Quality
- Our mission is to bring our customers the very best quality drinking water. The water treated and delivered to customers of the Authority, the City of Jenkinsburg & the City of Jackson meets, or exceeds, all state and federal standards for safe drinking water. Water testing is carried out continuously within the treatment plant. The water supply is further monitored by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, which also runs numerous tests on our water.
- Each year we publish a Water Quality Report which provides detailed information on testing and outlines the process involved in delivering the highest quality drinking water available. Click on the link here to view our Water Quality Report for 2011, the last full year of testing.
- Our Emerson L. Burford (Ocmulgee) Water Plant consistently receives the Gold Award from the Georgia Water & Pollution Control Association for quality performance and has been elevated to Platinum status for 10 straight years of awards. The Buck Stewart (Towaliga) Water Plant owned by the City of Jackson is operated by the Authority. This plant has been back online for four years now and has been given Gold Awards for each year back in service.
- If you have questions or concerns about the quality of water delivered to your tap please call us at (770) 775-0042. We will send a service person out to check your situation and run tests as appropriate.
