Atlanta DWM Unveils New Capital Improvement Program

As Atlanta continues to attract more residents and businesses, maintaining water and sewer infrastructure is critical for the city’s future growth.

Last week, the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management (DWM) released its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) plan, designed to forecast system needs over a five-year period. The proposed fiscal year 2015 through fiscal year 2019 plan totals nearly $1.06 billion and identifies requirements for sustaining, restoring and modernizing the facilities and infrastructure that support the water system, wastewater system, combined sewer control facilities and general maintenance and repair priorities in the Atlanta service area.
