After much anticipation, the Fulton County Department of Public Works is proud to announce the Groundbreaking Ceremony of the new Atlanta Newnan Road and Little Bear Creek Pump Stations and Force Main Project. County officials will celebrate the start of construction, on Tuesday, September 13, 2022 at 10 a.m. at the future pump station site located at 705 Rippling Brook Drive, Palmetto, GA 30268 in the Crossroads Subdivision. 

The $22,578,835 investment in sewer infrastructure in South Fulton and will ensure continued sewer capacity to serve a growing residential and business community. During the design phase, which was completed in June 2022, the Department of Public Works finalized plans for pump stations and force main that would be constructed within the City Limits of Chattahoochee Hills, Palmetto and South Fulton as identified in the recently completed South Fulton Wastewater Capacity Study. 

“Breaking ground on this project is a great example of the ongoing work this department is doing to ensure that our customers receive the highest level of water services.” said Fulton County Department of Public Works Director David Clark. “We are excited to move to the next phase of this project.”

Through collaboration with the Reeves Young & GMC design team, the project will consist of 2 new pump stations, and approximately 46,000 linear feet of force main. The additions will serve existing Serenbe development, Cedar Creek sewer basin, and surrounding areas. The Little Bear Pump Station will serve the existing Crossroads development and surrounding areas. This project will remove the existing Little Bear Water Reclamation Facility adjacent to the existing subdivision after acceptance and placing into service a new Little Bear Pump Station.
