Water Plant Improvement (80% Complete) Water Quality is a top priority with the City of Waynesboro. In order to continue to provide high quality water from the tap, the Waynesboro Water Filtration Plant has been going through an upgrade.

A new treatment basin is being constructed that will allow the raw water take from Green River to be treated making it's Crystal Clear". In addition, the filter beds have been completely replaced so that even the tiniest of dirt particles will be removed. Additionally, a new office for the water plant employees has been constructed to improve their working environment.

Sewer Line Repair Mandate (60% Complete) When it rains it pours... through the sewer system. Ground water and surface water enter the sanitary sewer system whenever we have a rain. This water enters old cracked clay tiles, open sewer clean outs and other open drains. In fact, so much water enters during a major rain that the sewer main lines rear the plant cannot hold it and the raw sewer will exit at low lying manholes. The City is actively trying to eliminate this by mandating that all sewer service lines be smoke tested. Those that show smoke seeping to the top of the ground must be repaired or replaced at the property owners expense.

Water Meter Change out (100% Complete) Pay your fair share. Did you know that some water meters in the City have been there for thirty to forty years and have had millions of gallons go through them. We know and in fact, 150 were identified as having one million gallons or more on the register. These are being replaced since a water meter has a tendency to slow down the older it gets. The projected revenue loss is fifteen percent (15%). By replacing those meters and gaining the additional revenue from an accurate water measurement water rate increases can be put off longer.
