Download: One Water Resources Analysis 2024
Located approximately 30 miles from Atlanta along Interstate-20 (I-20), Newton County is likely to see continued significant growth over the next several decades. This is exacerbated by the growing interest in additional industrial development along the I-20 corridor between Atlanta and Augusta. Newton County Water Resources, the City of Covington, and the Newton County Water and Sewerage Authority have initiated a cooperative, proactive planning effort to safeguard the longevity and sustainability of Newton County’s water resources. The One Water Resources Analysis (OWRA) establishes a baseline of existing conditions, models future scenarios, and evaluates potential improvement alternatives to address capacity needs. The OWRA shall be a living document, evolving as necessary due to changes in environmental, regulatory, and political circumstances.
