Upper Oconee Basin Water Authority
The Upper Oconee Basin Water Authority (UOBWA) consists of four counties: Athens-Clarke, Barrow, Jackson, and Oconee. The UOBWA was created by the Georgia General Assembly in 1994. The Authority is authorized to secure governmental permits, licenses, and approval to proceed with the design, financing, acquisition, and construction of reservoirs and related improvements. In return, the Authority is obligated to deliver an allocation of water supply to each member, based on population ratios and water consumer count at the time the legislation was enacted.
