Jack Turner Dam is an important part of Rockdale County’s water supply system. It holds back the Randy Poynter Reservoir, which stores water from the Big Haynes Creek watershed and provides a dependable source of raw water for our community.
The dam is classified as a Category I dam in Georgia. This classification reflects the potential consequences downstream if the dam were to fail. That is why inspections, monitoring, maintenance, and emergency preparedness are essential to responsible dam management.
Behind the scenes, Rockdale County Water Resources’ Water Supply Department helps manage and protect the water resources and infrastructure our community depends on every day.
