AUB WATER
7,778 customers
316 miles of distribution lines
AUB has three water sources: 1) The Ingleside Spring, which has been a source
for decades, 2) wells that tap an aquifer that runs parallel to Oostanaula Creek,
and 3) the Hiwassee Utility Commission. AUB’s Vernon Wade Filter Plant off of
Ingleside Avenue treats water from aquifer wells and Ingleside Spring. The Hiwassee
Utility Commission Filter Plant treats water from the Hiwassee River. Chlorine
is added to all source water, as a disinfectant, and fluoride is added to prevent
tooth decay.
Five above ground reservoirs store treated water that is
supplied to residential and commercial/industrial customers.
