Fulton water and sewer rates lowered

By Johnny Edwards

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Now that Fulton County is saving $6 million per year by closing a water recycling facility in Johns Creek, the County Commission has lowered water and sewer rates by 4 percent. The current water rate of $3.02 per thousand gallons will be decreased to $2.90, and the current sewer rate of $5.74 per thousand gallons will be lowered to $5.51.

Fulton provides water and sewer to most of the county north of the Chattahoochee River, and sewer to Sandy Springs and south Fulton. The rates are now the lowest in metro Atlanta, translating to savings of about $25 to $50 per year.
