Company News

The Macon Water Authority (MWA) is making a major investment in the community’s water infrastructure with a $9.2 million upgrade to the Rocky Creek Water Reclamation Facility. This project, approved at the February 6th  board meeting, will enhance water treatment efficiency, system reliability, and long-term sustainability.

What’s Included in the Upgrade?

The improvements at Rocky Creek will focus on:

✅ Electrical System Enhancements – Modernizing outdated electrical components to improve efficiency.

✅ SCADA System Implementation – Installing a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to allow for remote monitoring and real-time adjustments.

✅ Pump Station Upgrades – Improving the Return Activated Sludge (RAS) pump stations, which play a critical role in water treatment.

✅ Process System Overhaul – Upgrading key treatment processes to increase capacity and efficiency.

Why This Matters to You

The Rocky Creek facility is one of the largest water treatment plants in the region, handling millions of gallons of wastewater daily. These upgrades will:

✔ Ensure continued high-quality water service to homes and businesses.

✔ Improve system reliability by preventing unexpected breakdowns.

✔ Support future growth by increasing the plant’s capacity and efficiency.

Investing in the Future

This project is part of the MWA’s long-term infrastructure improvement plan, ensuring that Macon-Bibb County residents continue to receive safe, clean, and reliable water.
