Meeting for Water Main Project on Thursday

On Thursday, May 17, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., the Fulton County Department of Water Resources will host a public meeting to discuss the upcoming Alpharetta Water Transmission Main capital improvement project.  

The meeting will be held in the clubhouse of the Glen Abbey subdivision, 3600 Grey Abbey Drive, Alpharetta.

The Alpharetta Water Transmission Main involves the installation of approximately seven miles of water mains and its ancillaries in the cities of Alpharetta and Johns Creek. 

The new transmission pipeline will begin at the intersection of Jones Bridge Road and Buice Road, and will terminate at Mayfield Road in downtown Alpharetta.

This project is the most significant of a series of projects identified by the county to improve the water system supply and pressure in North Fulton County and specifically, to help the system cope with peak water demands during the summer months.

Construction on the total transmission pipeline will be installed in sections.  Currently the section on Kimball Bridge Road, between Big Creek and Spruell Circle, is under construction and is scheduled to be completed by November.   Construction on other sections of the project is slated for 2013. 

Fulton County staff will be on hand to discuss the project details and to address any concerns posed by the public.
