ATLANTA - The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management was recently honored with three Gold Awards from the Georgia Association of Water Professonals (GAWP). The Chattahoochee and Hemphill Water Treatment Plants, and the Utoy Creek Water Reclamation Center, were recognized for having no permit violations in the 2020 calendar year for Maximum Containment Levels (MCLs) and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination (NPDES), or pretreatment violations.
“I am extremely proud of the staff these award-winning facilities and their commitment to our mission, vision, and values,” said DWM Commissioner Mikita Browning. “We look forward to continue working with GAWP as we distinguish ourselves as leaders in innovation, service, and value.”
Established in 1932, GAWP provides education and training on drinking water and wastewater treatment, water resources and stormwater management, water conservation, utility management and customer service, and the broad realm of activities required to responsibly manage Georgia water resources.
