The Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District (Metro Water District) is seeking interested residents from the metro Atlanta region to serve on one of six Basin Advisory Councils in the 15-county region that help develop and implement water resources plans for the region. The councils provide valuable input to the Metro Water District’s planning process and related implementation activities by representing the wide variety of stakeholders that rely on the region’s water resources.

The Metro Water District encourages any interested community members to apply — as well as persons who represent environmental, recreation, civic group, power/natural gas, business, urban agriculture, academia, development, neighborhood, media, or water resource industry interests.

Individuals must reside within the river basin of the council for which they apply. Members serve two-year terms, and may be reappointed for additional terms. Councils hold regular quarterly meetings, but may also hold special meetings as needed to provide input on Metro Water District activities and actions.

The application for Basin Advisory Council membership is available on the Metro Water District’s Website, www.northgeorgiawater.org/bac. The deadline to apply is May 30, 2025.

Those who are interested or have questions can contact the Metro Water District at 470.378.1551 or at [email protected].
