Where does AUB get its water?
AUB obtains its drinking water from three sources: The Ingleside Spring source has served AUB well for decades. A second source is the combined offering of two wells AUB drilled into an aquifer that runs parallel to Oostanaula Creek in a southwest direction. The well field is about 2,200 feet northeast of Oostanaula Creek Dam off of Tellico Avenue. Finally, AUB purchases water from Hiwassee Utility Commission, the source being treated surface water from the Hiwassee River.
