The Macon Water Authority Board approved significant infrastructure investments during its January 8 meeting, advancing multiple projects designed to strengthen wastewater reliability and support long-term service needs across the community.
A key approval included the I-16 / I-75 Phase 6 Sanitary Sewer Force Main project, a critical improvement that will enhance system performance in a high-impact transportation corridor. The project involves installing new sanitary sewer infrastructure to increase flow capacity, reduce maintenance risks, and protect surrounding waterways. The project is fully reimbursable through the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), ensuring responsible use of public funds.
The Board also approved continued progress on wastewater treatment facility upgrades at the Lower Poplar and Rocky Creek Water Reclamation Facilities. These improvements focus on modernizing electrical systems, enhancing operational reliability, and increasing system resiliency during peak demand and emergency conditions.
Together, these projects reflect MWA’s ongoing commitment to proactive infrastructure planning, environmental stewardship, and dependable wastewater service for customers throughout Macon-Bibb County.
