What is the Metro Water District?

Since its creation in 2001, the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District (Metro Water District) has implemented one of the most comprehensive regional water management plans in the country. Science, data and good stewardship guide our comprehensive approach to managing water for economic, environmental and social well-being. Working with local governments, water and wastewater utilities and stakeholders, we protect water quality, supply and recreational value in the region and downstream.
