ATLANTA – The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management (DWM) is investigating a potential chemical release at the South River Water Reclamation Center (WRC) following reports of a fish kill in the South River. 

Early results suggest some material may have reached the storm drains. However, the leak’s source, volume, and environmental impact are still being determined. 

DWM has deployed crews to collect water quality samples and is coordinating closely with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) to support the ongoing investigation. 

Additional updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
