BRACK: Gwinnett to set new world standard for water technology
By Elliott Brack | Even before Gwinnett’s F. Wayne Hill Water Reclamation Plant was finished, it attracted water professionals worldwide to visit the plant. Gwinnett was aiming to treat sewage at a higher standard than anyone in the world, plus returning treated water to Lake Lanier at a higher quality than when the water came from the lake.

“Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide.”
