Clayton County enjoys some of the most abundant and efficient utility services in metro Atlanta. From up to 42 million gallons per day (mgd) of clean drinking water to some of the lowest electricity prices in the country, Clayton County’s ideal location comes with a wealth of business parks and
in-demand land primed for development.
Water & Sewer
The Clayton County Water Authority (CCWA) provides water, sewer, and storm water services to more than a quarter of a million people throughout Clayton County and its six cities through approximately 82,000 customer accounts. CCWA is a “surface water” system, which means its water production cycle begins with the collection of rainfall that hits the surface of the basin and drains into one of the utility’s five reservoirs which can hold a cumulative 6.5 billion gallons of water when full. CCWA also operates three award-winning water production facilities that together can treat up to 42 mgd. Overall, CCWA offers excess water capacity of more than 40 mgd.
Electricity & Natural Gas
Electricity and natural gas are supplied by divisions of the Southern Company, Georgia Power and Atlanta Gas Light. Georgia Power is recognized by site selectors as one of the top electric utilities in the country, praised for its diverse and reliable supply, for keeping abreast of infrastructure capabilities (electric, water, sewer, rail, etc.) of all the major sites within its service territories, and for partnering well with state and local economic development entities. Atlanta Gas Light maintains the area’s natural gas infrastructure, and businesses may choose from more than a dozen competing natural gas marketers for affordable service.
Broadband Accessibility
Multiple broadband providers serve Clayton County. Massive fiber infrastructure throughout the county provides ready access to most business and commerce sites. Special technology developments, such as University Station in Morrow, capitalize on the data capabilities of the system.
