gpatt0n Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Actually they do regular testing of the water provided from the Cobb-Marietta water authority which is treated by that authority. The new water supply coming on line or maybe it is there, is from our own reservoir up 61 highway with water from I think the Flint River that is pumped into our reservoir and ultimately treated for human consumption. Because of the forests that are the halmark of nwGA, I wouldn't worry about pollution from things like strip mining or the sludge from coal-based electric generating plants. The water supply is actually 'pretty safe' ... but it is monitored. It is fine and it is safe. pubby Link to post Share on other sites

The Sound Guy Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 The RCR is being filled from the Etowah river, the pumping station is near the Cartersville Airport. Since it's right after the Allatoona Dam, if the lake is OK to swim in, the treated water supply should be ++ good. Heard rumors that due to the delay in the project (it's over a year behind schedule) and cost overruns, the "temporary" rate increase that was supposed to get them over the construction period will end up being left active.
