We recognize that protecting the environment in an urban setting is important and requires a comprehensive approach. Prudent use of our water resources, effective treatment and discharge of wastewater, and the protection of our streams from pollution are important factors in successful water management. Our communication goals include helping our county residents increase their understanding of water, sewer and stormwater issues, see what efforts are being made to protect the environment, and learn how they can take part in these efforts.

The diversity of Cobb Water’s education programs target residents and businesses. We have made a concerted effort to educate the general public and school children regarding the facts of water quality and environmental issues. Also, we help businesses to meet new environmental regulations in the areas of grease abatement, backflow prevention, flood and soil erosion control measures.
