We all know that the future of Atlanta depends on economic growth. It depends on jobs for all who want to work, it depends on keeping the City an affordable place to live, and it depends on an attractive and enjoyable quality of life.

But what we sometimes forget is that all of these things - growth, jobs, affordability and quality of life - depend on something even more fundamental. They all depend on - Clean Water.

"Clean Water Atlanta" is the City's aggressive new program to ensure that we have clean drinking water for all residents and clean wastewater for our downstream neighbors. It is our long-term program to ensure our future.
