Athens-Clarke County, Georgia (ACC) operates three Water Reclamation Facilities (WRF) to serve their community and protect the environment. The North Oconee WRF (NOWRF) has rated capacity of 14 million gallons per day (MGD). ACC Public Utilities Department (PUD) completed a study in 2018 to develop master plan to implement a program for non-potable water reuse from NOWRF for irrigation, industrial colling water and other non-potable water reuse. The program is governed by the State of Georgia, Environmental Protection Division Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) regulations. ACC selected Stantec Consulting Services inc. to execute the first phases of the water reuse program to offset growing water demands at the Athena Industrial Park. Stantec completed the Athena Industrial Recycled Water Transmission Line preliminary engineering report in 2024. The report evaluated routes for over 5 miles of recycled water transmission line (RWTL) from NOWRF to the Athena Industrial Park. The selected RWTL route construction will take place in three phases: Section 1: from NOWRF to Lexington Road (US 78), 6,120± LF of 16-inch C900 PVC. The pipeline goes thru densely developed urban areas (residential and commercial) including crossing two Georgia DOT Highways. Section 2: starting Lexington Road (US 78), 2,420 ± LF of 16-inch C900 PVC. The pipeline parallels Winterville Road and then along Firefly Trail. The Trail is a community driven “rail-to-trail” 12-foot concrete path that is widely used by the Athens community. Section 3: 3.4± miles of 8-inch C900 PVC from north end of the completed sections of Firefly Trail continuing along Spring Valley Drive to the intersection with Voyles Road. Stantec prepared design of the first two phases for construction beginning in 2026. Task included detailed engineering design, topographic surveying, utility locations, property research, easement preparation, and permitting. The presentation will discuss preliminary and final design, Georgia EPD IPR guidance, route challenges and solutions, and permitting efforts.
