Project Description
The CSAW Drinking Water Project addresses critical concerns related to the quality of drinking water in metro Atlanta, including the economic impact of water quality on households. With urban expansion, industrial activities, and aging infrastructure contributing to water quality degradation, this initiative seeks to improve tap water reaching the communities’ taps. Emerging as a comprehensive effort within CSAW’s array of projects, this initiative serves as an umbrella for various activities focused on the physical and economic aspects of water quality.
