Why does Cherokee County need more than one wastewater treatment facility? Would not one large wastewater treatment facility be better than several smaller ones?
The topography of Cherokee County and the location of Lake Allatoona dictate that several wastewater treatment facilities are required within the county to yield reasonable travel time of wastewater from homes/businesses to a treatment facility. Excessive travel time can result in undesirable odor levels and other treatment challenges when the raw wastewater enters a distant treatment facility, and can severely impact the cost and sizing of collection system infrastructure.
