History
The Lumpkin County Water and Sewerage Authority was created as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia by an act of the Georgia General Assembly in March of 1984 to facilitate the provision of water and sewer service to the citizens of Lumpkin County.
Enterprise
The Authority operates as an independent political subdivision of the state, similar to counties and cities in Georgia. However, the Authority is not a taxing entity and therefore operates as an enterprise, meaning it operates solely off the revenues collected from bills and fees for water and sewer service.
