A. COW2026-034 Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority Presentation - Cole Blackwell, General Manager Cole Blackwell, General Manager of the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority presented the following: • The Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority (CCMWA) is an independent political subdivision of the state of Georgia, created by the Georgia General Assembly in 1951 for the purpose of providing wholesale drinking water to the region. • CCMWA currently serves 11 wholesale customers who serve a population of around 1,000,000 people across a six-county area. (Cobb, Cherokee, Bartow, Douglas, Fulton, and Paulding) • Cobb County Water System is CCMWA’s largest customer, and the Marietta Board of Lights & Water is the second largest. • CCMWA is the largest wholesale provider of drinking water in the state with average daily demand of 76.5 MGD in 2025. • CCMWA receives no direct tax revenue. The only operational revenue CCMWA receives is from water sales and laboratory services. Water Quality Water quality is of utmost importance - • We know taste and odor issues, PFAS, lead, copper, and emerging contaminants are of particular concern to those we serve. • In September 2025, levels of the taste- and odor-causing compound Methyl- Isoborneol (MIB), which is produced by certain types of algae, increased dramatically in the Chattahoochee River, exceeding 135 parts per trillion (ppt), more than 700% above the previous record high. o MIB does not pose a health threat, but it does cause unpleasant taste and odor at levels as low as 10 ppt. o Currently, the Authority’s Quarles WTP can remove MIB at concentrations up to ~45 ppt using powdered activated carbon. o The Authority is conducting a study of advanced treatment options in 2026 to determine the best path forward for addressing future increases in MIB levels. • In 2025, the Authority continued proactively testing for PFAS. o Source water samples and finished water samples taken from the Authority’s drinking water treatment plants were all below United States Environmental Protection Agency maximum contaminant levels.

We're going to retain quite a few trees along the backs of these lots. So we will actually meet base density. We won't even have to plant trees to meet the base density. However, there are a couple of large trees that will need to come down. So there is going to be some specimen recompense involved. So we will end up planting a few trees. Um, see what else I can tell you. Uh, we're going to be doing some fairly traditional things that we've done on these other lots with, uh, probably underground detention systems involving gravel and tying the down spouts in and that sort of thing. Uh we did meet with staff uh at least one time uh Bo and uh the transportation engineer and we worked out some details about where these uh driveways and such would would hit and where specifically very specifically we would put in and how we would put in some of the uh utilities in especially the sewer. Uh because it turns out the sewer line in front of the far right number four is about 18 feet deep out there in the road. Um, so we almost couldn't make this project work. We had to really work out some fine details to try to make this make the numbers work because the cost of tying into that sewer was going to be quite considerable to dig 18 ft deep out in the road and then possibly have to replace some asphalt and things like that. So, just wanted you to know that we did work with your staff and uh went through a number of comments and and dealt with all those amicably. Um, so that's all. Anybody have any questions? Any questions of the applicant? Miss Wilkinson? Thank you. Um wonder if um our city clerk elevations again. Oh, I'm sorry. I just asked for the elevations to be pulled up.

If they came in with an entitled project that didn't require reszoning, they would still have to go through all this storm water review and have to do the same thing as well. So, um, this that's going to be whether this is a town home development or if it's commercial development or whatever it it it's an issue that the city is going to address during the development process for this.
