In the Southeast, water is an issue that is felt from the regional “water wars” level to the “CFO” of a corporation considering the cost of doing business in Buckhead.

It is Livable Buckhead’s objective to reduce the water required to maintain a growth strategy for Buckhead. The impacts of efficiency improvements realize the environmental benefits by wasting less water and energy needed to clean and move it. The economic benefits are even greater as Atlanta faces some of the highest, if not the highest, water and sewer prices in the country.

The vision for water sustainability in Buckhead will result in a reduction in water usages through a design and feasibility study for a WaterHub based in the Buckhead commercial core, a campaign dedicated to identifying water efficiency improvement in commercial buildings, an assessment of water efficiency recommendations provided to improve zoning codes, the delivery of a water neutral PATH400, and a demonstrated pipeline of water improvement projects initiated from Livable Buckhead’s education efforts.
