Forsyth Holding Open House at Water Treatment Plant

The public is invited to tour the expansion of the Forsyth County Water Treatment Plant during an open house on Thursday, May 23, from 2 to 4 p.m.

“We would like to invite citizens to come to the plant during the open house to see the new expansion and learn about the technology that goes into treating our water,” said Tim Perkins, director of Water and Sewer.

The expansion of the water treatment plant incorporates membrane technology to further enhance the quality of finished water, increase efficiency, and provide the capability to treat an additional 12 million gallons of water daily, according to the county.

“In addition to the benefits this expansion will provide today, it was also constructed in such a way as to allow for additional expansion in the future,” Perkins said. “The project was undertaken with an eye toward the county’s future needs.”

The water treatment plant, which opened in 2000, is located at 2255 Antioch Road. From GA 400, exit at Exit 16 (Pilgrim Mill Road) and travel west. Turn right onto Antioch Road. After traveling approximately 0.6 miles, the entrance will be on your right.
