Calhoun, GA 30701
The City of Calhoun Water Treatment Plant located on Mauldin Road began operation on September 6, 1950. On that date, the "water plant" produced 504,000 gallons of safe drinking water for the residents of Calhoun and Gordon County. Calhouns potable water production was previously accomplished from the "water works" located at the intersection of College Street and Red Bud Road.
Presently, the water treatment plant averages 12.8 million gallons per day. The main source of our water is the Coosawattee River. There are no major developments from the base of Carters Lake Dam downstream to the intake located off Newtown Loop Road. This assures a very high quality "raw" water. Strict regulations and guidelines issued by the Environmental Protection Agency are professionally adhered to by the operators, laboratory technicians, and support personnel of the "water plant".
Mr. Danny Stephens is the Water Treatment Plant Superintendent. Please feel free to call 706.629.2585 with any questions concerning your water or to schedule a plant tour (pending completion of construction).
