City Of Peachtree Corners: Wolf Creek Pump Station Improvement Project Along Chattahoochee River

Press release from the City of Peachtree Corners:

02/07/2022 1:07 PM

Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources is upsizing approximately two miles of gravity sewer from 20-inch diameter to 36-inch diameter between Simpsonwood Park and Jones Bridge Park. 

The pipeline was installed in the early 1980s and runs parallel to the Chattahoochee River.  This sewer upgrade project also includes an expansion to the existing Wolf Creek Pump Station located inside Simpsonwood Park to increase the capacity to serve the recent growth in the area.  The pump station improvements consist of land clearing and grading to install a new emergency storage basin, electrical building, and generator. 

The intent of this project is to increase the firm capacity of the Wolf Creek Pump Station by replacing the existing pumps with new larger pumps.  Due to the scope of the project, a large number of trees in the area are to be removed. The removal of the trees is required to allow for underground storage. Limited re-planting will commence once the project is complete

The project complies with Chattahoochee River Corridor regulations and is expected to take 18-24 months for the pump station and sewer upgrades. 

Inquiries can be made to the Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources Construction Communications Team at 678.376.7027 or dwrconstruction@gwinnettcounty.com and more information can be found at www.gwinnettwaterprojects.com.
