Georgia county lowers water usage in multifamily units
A helping hand in Georgia.
Every drop matters, especially within the limits of Cobb County, Ga.
The metro Atlanta county with a population of more than 688,000 receives its drinking water from two, smaller basins from the Chattahoochee River and Allatoona Lake. But in 2009, Georgia lost a federal case and the presiding judge also issued a remedy saying the state would not be allowed to draw water from the Chattahoochee or nearby Lake Lanier unless it got approval from Congress. That approval never materialized.
