A groundbreaking ceremony will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 8, at 2:30 p.m. to kick off an expansion project at the Hall County Spout Springs Water Reclamation facility, located at 6818 Spout Springs Road in Flowery Branch.
“The Spout Springs Water Reclamation facility has served the growing South Hall population for several years now, but as this community continues to grow, its current capacity will not be able to serve at its current rate,” Hall County District 1 Commissioner Kathy Cooper said. “This expansion will allow the County to continue offering wastewater services to surrounding residents and contribute to the overall quality of life for the next 10 to 15 years.”
Once complete, the expansion will increase the facility’s wastewater capacity from 750,000 gallons per day to 1.6 million gallons per day. Facility upgrades will include new ultraviolet light disinfection, a new aerobic digester, a new water booster pumping system, new filters and a vacuum truck receiving station.
The total budget for the SSWRF expansion project is $20.9 million and is funded by Special Purpose Local Options Sales Tax (SPLOST VIII) and the County’s water and sewer funds. The expansion is expected to be completed in 2026.
