Two DeKalb County wastewater plants have earned statewide awards for their performance.
The Snapfinger Creek wastewater facility took top honors from the Georgia Association of Water Professionals as the state’s best large treatment plant. The facility also earned a Municipal Safety Award for its in-house safety programs.
A second facility, Pole Bridge, was named the state’s best large facility for biosolids.
The honors are a bright spot for DeKalb’s sewer system, which is under a federal Environment Protection Agency mandate for improvements after reporting more than 800 raw sewage spills in five years.
