Safe Is Not the Same as Pleasant

Athens-Clarke County draws from the North Oconee River, the Middle Oconee River, and Bear Creek Reservoir, treats it at the JG Beacham plant, and reports the results publicly. What we change is what happens after it reaches your house.

  • Taste and smell first

    The complaint we hear from city customers is almost always about chlorine, not safety. Carbon filtration is the usual answer.

  • Drinking water separately

    An under-sink reverse osmosis system handles drinking, cooking, coffee, and ice without treating water you are only going to put down the drain.

  • No oversized systems

    Plenty of Athens homes need something modest rather than the full treatment train. We will tell you when that is the case.

What City Customers Usually Choose

Two systems cover most of what people on Athens-Clarke County water are actually after.

  • Carbon filtration

    Whole-house treatment for chlorine taste and smell, so every tap in the house improves.

  • Reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink

    Thorough treatment for the water you drink and cook with, from a dedicated tap.

  • Sometimes both

    Carbon for the house and reverse osmosis for the kitchen is a common combination, and still less than an oversized single system.

Frequently Asked Answers

Frequently Asked Questions About City Water Treatment

If city water is safe, why treat it at all?
Because safe and pleasant are different goals. Municipal water is treated and tested to meet federal standards. What treatment at home changes is taste, smell, and what reaches your glass.
What is in Athens-Clarke County water?
It comes from the North Oconee River, the Middle Oconee River, and Bear Creek Reservoir, treated at the JG Beacham plant, which runs more than 16,000 water quality tests a year. The published water quality report has the current numbers.
What do most city water customers end up with?
Usually carbon filtration for taste and odour, or an under-sink reverse osmosis system for drinking and cooking. Both are among the less expensive things we install.
