Johns Creek Environmental Campus Dedication - Friday, July 16

On Friday, July 16, Fulton County will open the new Johns Creek Environmental Campus (JCEC), located in District 4.  The JCEC,Fulton County’s newest water reclamation facility, is a 43-acre facility is located at 8100 Holcomb Bridge Road in Roswell, adjacent to the Chattahoochee River.

The facility will reclaim 15 million gallons of water a day for re-use, non-drinking purposes such as irrigation. The campus also features an education center that will educate children and adults on the issues and benefits related to water quality and aquatic life in the Chattahoochee River, water conservation, reuse water, and the value of water.

The facility will use innovative membrane bioreactor technology that removes nearly all bacteria during water treatment. The campus is the largest plant in the country that uses this technology

Additionally, advanced odor and noise control measures are built into the design of the plant. This is part of Fulton County’s goal to be a good neighbor to surrounding residents. All the processes involved with wastewater treatment are designed to be covered and enclosed, and odorous gasses are treated prior to exhausting to the atmosphere.
