Urban-Atlanta home | The sampling program
Atlanta, Georgia, is one of the most rapidly growing urban centers in the United States. As Atlanta has expanded and the population has increased, the current storm and sanitary sewer systems have been unable to meet increasing demands. During 1998, Atlanta entered into a consent decree with a group of litigants concerning the combined sewer overflows. As part of this consent decree, Atlanta is required to monitor all sanitary sewer overflows as well as the impacts of stormwater on water-quality.
