Tours and Speakers

The MWA Amerson Plant and Javors J. Lucas Lake were also constructed with public access and public education in mind. Plant tours are currently available upon request of the Plant Operations Director. Plant tours are available every day of the work week except Wednesdays. Plant tours may be scheduled as early as 10:00 a.m., but no later than 2:30 p.m. Individuals or groups are asked to call ahead to reserve a time to tour, so the Authority staff can provide a tour guide, if needed. In addition to plant tours, the reservoir and surrounding grounds have been prepared for public fishing, and there is potential for other amenities in the future. For more information on public fishing or to schedule a plant tour, citizens may contact the Authority at 478-464-5650.

The Authority worked with organizers of the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail to extend and connect it to the site where the old MWA Riverside Drive Water Treatment Facility once stood. The grounds of the old treatment facility were cleared and transformed into a public park, which is known today as the Amerson Water Works Park, after being dedicated in early 2009, in honor of long-time MWA Chairman of the Board Frank C. Amerson, Jr.
