"I encourage my children to read, because independent reading helps them to excel in all subjects at school and reading is a key to success in life.” "

The Cobb County Water System provides retail water service to households and businesses in unincorporated Cobb County and the cities of Acworth and Kennesaw, as well as wastewater treatment service to all of Cobb County and portions of Fulton and Paulding counties.  We also maintain dedicated stormwater infrastructure in unincorporated Cobb County.

The Water System recognizes that protecting the environment in an urbanizing setting is important and requires a comprehensive approach.  Our nationally recognized public outreach programs promote respect for the environment by educating our community about the connection between behavior and the quality/quantity of our water resources.
