Unlike the majority of Georgia, Clayton County is not experiencing major drought conditions at the moment..Why? Because a couple of decades back they began experimenting with a new type of wastewater treatement....
"It's raining every day in Clayton County," said Michael Thomas, general manager of the Clayton County Water Authority. "We're putting 10 million gallons of water a day back in."
Drought fears struck Clayton more than 20 years ago, and county officials started to think ahead. The result: an elaborate series of 21 man-made wetlands and reservoirs that allows the county to collect 10 million gallons of wastewater a day and eventually convert it to drinking water.
