The city is replacing its 80-year-old water treatment plant with a new state-of-the-art facility. 

After nearly 80 years of service, Roswell’s old water plant can no longer efficiently and cost-effectively produce water for the city’s customers. 

Roswell’s Water Treatment plant services approximately 5,600 residences mostly within the historic district area. The city anticipates the new water treatment plant will be operational by the end of October 2015.
