Gwinnett is committed to providing excellent service at the best value to our customers while preserving natural water resources. Though the use of reclaimed water helps conserve drinking water, there are service limitations. The existing reuse line is located along the northeastern portion of the county from the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center to the Chattahoochee. The location of the line limits service to potential customers who are feasibly within a reasonable distance of the line.
The line is a non-pressurized line that spans an uneven terrain, which makes pressure also an issue for service. Additionally, consumptive use is a concern regarding reuse projects, which means that the intended water use would reduce the net return to the local waterways of the source basin. Gwinnett reuse customers are typically, golf courses, athletic fields, parks, commercial or industrial businesses. There are currently no residential customers at this time due primarily to the need for installing dual plumbing systems.
Though direct connection to the reuse water line may be limited, one alternative potential customers may consider is through the Reuse Trucking Program. This program was developed for potential customers who complete an online training, meet vehicle requirements for transporting and operate within Gwinnett County to haul reuse water for irrigation.

Reclaimed Water Transporting
A number of factors determine who can become reuse customers. To determine if you could potentially receive reuse service, answer the following questions:
- Am I located within close proximity of the reuse line? (Click here to see reuse map)
- Am I a commercial, industrial or recreational business?
- Do I want to use reclaimed water for irrigation?
If you answered yes to all of the questions above, please feel free to contact Heather Moody at 678.376.6722 for more information on reclaimed water services.
