Altamaha Council Fact Sheet

The Altamaha Council has developed an Initial Recommended Regional Water Plan for Appling, Bleckley, Candler, Dodge, Emanuel, Evans, Jeff Davis, Johnson, Montgomery, Tattnall, Telfair, Toombs, Treutlen, Wayne, Wheeler, and Wilcox counties. These counties rely on surface or groundwater resources within the Altamaha region.

The Altamaha Council is composed of residents of those 16 counties who were appointed by the Governor, Lt. Governor, and Speaker of the House to prepare a regional water plan. After the regional water plan is adopted, Georgia Environmental Protection Division permits and Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority grants and loans for water projects will be guided by the plan.
