Macon Water Authority

"Water is the oil of the 21st century."

Perhaps the truest test of a genuinely progressive community today is the measure of its ability to protect the sources of its most precious commodity, water. Thanks to the leadership of the Macon Water Authority, Macon and Bibb County have the capacity not only to meet current needs but also attract industry and residents with confidence.

Throughout the ages, water is the essential element that has the power to draw people to it. In this century the availability, quality and affordability of clean water will be the driving force in economic development. Because of the forethought and ongoing investment of the MWA, Macon and Bibb County are uniquely poised to capitalize as these issues become an increasingly critical consideration.

The current composition of the Macon Water Authority consists of an elected Chairman at Large, four elected District members and one representative each from City Council and Bibb County Board of Commissioners. Chairman Frank Amerson has served in that capacity since 1976 providing vision, leadership and consistency to the organization.
