May 5, 2011 -The Authority was formed by the Georgia legislature 25 years ago in March 1986.  The first meeting of the newly appointed board was held on May 13, 1986.    Our staff and board members commemorated this milestone with a group  photo at the Emerson L. Burford Water Treatment Plant on May 5, 2011.  We are all so glad to have played a part in building  water and sewer service for the people of Butts County.
