What Makes East Point's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
East Point, Georgia, in Fulton County — a major south Fulton County community adjacent to Atlanta's city limits (East Point is directly south of Atlanta's city boundary — a major south Fulton County community in the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport corridor), home of the East Point–College Park–Hapeville gateway to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (the world's busiest airport by passenger traffic — East Point is directly adjacent to the airport's primary access corridors), a diverse Fulton County community with a significant African-American majority population, and adjacent to several major Hollywood South film and television production facilities (Atlanta's film industry has grown dramatically since Georgia's tax incentive program began, and the south Fulton County area hosts major studios) — draws its municipal water supply via the Atlanta Department of Watershed Management. Water hardness in East Point measures 80.5 mg/L — classified as moderately soft.
East Point's moderate softness reflects the Chattahoochee River watershed's calcareous-moderate Georgia Piedmont crystalline geology and Atlanta DWM distribution. The Chattahoochee River at East Point–south Fulton County draws from the Georgia Piedmont Belt (Precambrian–Paleozoic calcareous-moderate gneiss and schist — the south Fulton County calcareous-poor to calcareous-moderate crystalline belt). Atlanta DWM treatment and distribution to East Point produces the moderate 80.5 mg/L.
With hardness at 80.5 mg/L, East Point residents enjoy moderately soft water. Atlanta DWM consistently delivers water meeting all Georgia EPD and EPA Safe Drinking Water Act requirements.
Geology & Source: River supply from the Chattahoochee River via the Atlanta Department of Watershed Management — the Fulton County south Atlanta suburban Piedmont corridor (Precambrian–Paleozoic calcareous-moderate Georgia Piedmont gneiss — the south Fulton County crystalline Piedmont; Atlanta DWM south distribution to East Point Fulton County zone); moderately soft supply at 80.5 mg/L in Fulton County.
