The Thomson-McDuffie Water and Sewer Utility provides essential water and sewer services to homes, businesses, and industrial facilities throughout the City and County. Our team maintains two filtration plants and vital distribution infrastructure including chlorination stations, water mains, and metering systems.
Our water system is anchored by two treatment facilities that process surface water from Clarks Hill Lake in the northern region and Usry's Pond in the south. The Georgia EPD has authorized us to withdraw and treat up to 3.1 million gallons daily (MGD) from Clarks Hill Lake and 1.5 MGD from Usry's Pond.
Our water treatment process includes several key steps:
- Coagulation and Flocculation: We add positively-charged chemicals that neutralize negative charges in soil and dissolved particles, forming larger particles called floc.
- Sedimentation: The heavier floc settles to the bottom of treatment basins through gravity.
- Filtration: Clear water passes through specialized filters containing sand, gravel, and charcoal to remove remaining particles, dust, parasites, bacteria, viruses, and chemicals.
- Disinfection: We add disinfectants like chlorine to eliminate any remaining microorganisms and protect water quality during distribution.
After treatment, water is pumped through our distribution network, ensuring reliable service 24/7. Our distribution system includes approximately 290 miles of underground pipes ranging from 4 to 20 inches in diameter, plus 6 elevated storage tanks with a combined capacity of 1.8 million gallons. This infrastructure has been developed over many decades and extends throughout Thomson and McDuffie County.
