Water Service
Water service is provided by the City of Statham. It is the mission of the City of Statham to provide our customers with safe drinking water; water for fire protection, and an adequate supply of water for our daily needs.
The City operates and maintains a one million gallon per day surface water treatment facility. In addition, the city also operates a spring system, which has been in operation since 1935. The spring produces approximately 120,000 gallons per day.

Water Conservation
Georgia EPD encourages continued Water Conservation through a non-drought outdoor water use schedule under the Water Stewardship Act of 2010. Outdoor landscape watering is encouraged any day between the hours of 4 pm to 10 am. Other outdoor water use (personal food garden, hand watering with a hose with automatic cutoff or handheld container, drip irrigation or irrigation using soaker hoses, car washing & pressure washing) is allowed with no hourly restrictions.
Additional water conservation information is available at State of Georgia Water Conservation.
State and Federal Resources
Two operators run the water system, one operator holds a Class 1 license, and one operator has a Class 3 license. Certified operators are required to do testing every four hours.
Along with running the water plant and the spring, the operators also handle water concerns or questions. They also do all water sampling and reporting for the State of Georgia.
If you have a problem with water, please call City Hall. Upon request, an operator will come out and check your water.
