Water service is provided by the City of Statham. The City operates and maintains a one million gallon per day surface water treatment facility.
 
The City also operates a spring system, which has been in operation since 1935. The spring produces approximately 120,000 gallons per day.
Three operators run the water system. Two of the operators have a Class 1 license, and one operator has a Class 3 license. Certified operators are required to do testing every four hours.
Along with running the water plant and the spring, the operators also handle water complaints. They also do all water sampling and reporting for the State of Georgia.
If you have a problem with water, please call City Hall. Upon request an operator will come out and check your water.
If your water is cut off for non-payment, there is a $50 reconnect fee. Water will be reconnected during regular business hours only.
Utility bills are due on the 15th of each month. A 10% penalty is added on the 16th. Overdue bills are subject to disconnect on the 20th.
