What Makes Peachtree City's Water Unique?
Local geology and source profile
Peachtree City, Georgia, in Fayette County — a major south Atlanta suburban community (Peachtree City is the largest city in Fayette County — a planned community famous for its extensive golf cart path system, one of the largest golf cart path networks in the world: over 100 miles of paved golf cart paths link neighborhoods, schools, shopping centers, and recreational areas; golf carts are a primary mode of transportation for residents), an affluent south metro Atlanta community (Fayette County and Peachtree City consistently rank among the highest household incomes in Georgia), a planned community developed from the 1960s onward as a unified master-planned city, and a diverse Fayette County community with a significant Korean-American and military family population — draws its municipal water supply from the Line Creek Reservoir via the Peachtree City WASA. Water hardness in Peachtree City measures 137.5 mg/L — classified as moderately hard.
Peachtree City's moderate hardness reflects the south Fayette County Line Creek watershed's calcareous-moderate Georgia Piedmont crystalline geology. The Line Creek watershed at Peachtree City–Fayette County drains the Georgia Inner Piedmont Belt (Precambrian–Paleozoic calcareous-moderate Georgia Piedmont gneiss and schist — the calcareous-moderate south Fayette County crystalline belt). Peachtree City WASA treatment produces the moderate 137.5 mg/L.
At 137.5 mg/L, Peachtree City residents encounter moderate scale accumulation. Monthly cleaning with citric acid solution is recommended. Peachtree City WASA consistently delivers water meeting all Georgia EPD and EPA Safe Drinking Water Act requirements.
Geology & Source: Reservoir supply from the Line Creek Reservoir (Flint River watershed) via the Peachtree City Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) — the Fayette County south Georgia Atlanta suburban corridor (Precambrian–Paleozoic calcareous-moderate Georgia Piedmont gneiss — the south Fayette County crystalline Piedmont; Line Creek watershed supply with treatment); moderately hard supply at 137.5 mg/L in Fayette County.
