Pictured is Rockdale Water Resources’ raw water reservoir, a vital component of our drinking water system. With a storage capacity of approximately 22 million gallons, the reservoir serves as an important water supply buffer that helps ensure reliable service to our customers year-round.
The reservoir provides critical storage during periods of high-water demand, equipment maintenance, and extended dry weather. By maintaining a reserve of untreated water, Rockdale Water Resources can continue producing drinking water even when source water availability is reduced. This additional storage capacity helps protect our community from the impacts of drought conditions and supports a dependable water supply for homes, businesses, schools, and emergency services.
In addition to water storage, the reservoir allows operators to better manage treatment plant operations and maintain consistent water quality. The reservoir is continuously monitored and maintained to ensure it remains a safe and effective part of the treatment process.
Investments in infrastructure such as this reservoir strengthen the reliability and resilience of Rockdale County’s water system, helping ensure a sustainable supply of clean drinking water for current and future generations.
