The Crooked Creek Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) is an award-winning wastewater treatment facility located in Peachtree Corners. Originally purchased in 1972 as a one million gallon per day facility; it has since been expanded and upgraded several times over the last four decades to its current capacity of 16 million gallons per day.

A conventional activated sludge plant, the Crooked Creek WRF uses a biological process to treat wastewater and ultraviolet rays (UV) to disinfect it before releasing the effluent (cleaned wastewater) to the Chattahoochee River. In 2017, the Crooked Creek WRF was selected as a Peak Performance Honoree by the National Association of Clean Water Agencies. The facility also won Plant of the Year in 2018.

While continuing to operate and serve the community, the Crooked Creek WRF is currently undergoing a $136 million renovation project to modernize the facility and increase its safety, efficiency, and reliability. We are upgrading the electrical and computer systems, odor control systems, biological reactor basins, solids handling, UV system, and clarifiers. These enhancements will improve environmental protection, odor control, and noise control. Once upgrades are completed, the Crooked Creek WRF will reflect the high standards that the Department of Water Resources is known for, providing both better and more reliable treatment for the county even under the most challenging conditions.
