Mission

Our mission is to operate and implement water pollution control programs as required by Federal and State laws ensuring compliance by both the City of Loganville and those discharges regulated by the City.

Our goals are to control the quality of discharges to the wastewater collection system through assisting all departments with inspections, monitoring, and permitting; ensure compliance with all applicable Federal and State water quality discharge requirements. To monitor and evaluate drinking water quality, ensuring City compliance with all applicable Federal and State regulations governing drinking water quality.

The Water Quality Control Division supports planning, design, operation and maintenance practices to maintain high water quality from the point-of-entry of the drinking water distribution system to the point of water quality of the streams within our service area.

Water Quality Control Facility

The City of Loganville Water Quality Control Facility is located at 4895 Hwy. 81 North, Loganville, GA. 30052.

As currently constituted, the Water Quality Control Facility consists of three VLR (Vertical Loop Reactors), two clarifiers, disc filters, centrifuge, and UV disinfection system to provide treatment for a rated capacity of 3.33 million gallons per day (MGD).  

The reuse system consists of a 0.5 million gallon holding tank and pump station designed to provide non-potable water for irrigation and operations at the treatment facility.    

The facility currently operates under National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued by GAEPD. The permit allows the facility to discharge up to 3.33 MGD to Big Flat Creek. The permit also allows the facility to spray irrigate .250 MGD on to its 40 acre LAS fields.

The Facility was upgraded and expanded in 2021 with consideration of a phase II 5.0 MGD for future development. This future plant expansion will also introduce several new technologies designed to produce high quality effluent water and increase the plant’s efficiency.

GREEN DESIGN - Bio-solids

The Water Quality Control department is committed to making our city a greener place to live by supporting responsible designing of our facility and sustainable practices. The Water Quality Control Facility has invested in and established in projects designed to use byproducts of out treatment process to further support our environment.

The Water Quality Control Facility generates about 100 Dry Tons per year of Class B digester sludge (“biosolids”). Our Bio-solids are safely applied to local farmland where they act as a beneficial amendment to farmland and an environmentally-friendly alternative to petroleum-based and chemical fertilizers
