SAVE THE DATE
Saturday June 7th, Savannah Riverkeeper will be hosting a community meeting to discuss the future of the Broad River and provide Adopt-a-Stream training. More details to come.
Broad River communities are growing increasingly concerned about Franklin Springs' proposal to construct a new wastewater treatment plant capable of processing over 2 million gallons of wastewater per day.
Residents are asking a critical question: Why?
Why is Franklin Springs planning to build a facility with such a large capacity—far exceeding the city's current wastewater needs?
Who is this plant really being built for?
Is it intended to support future growth, serve surrounding communities, or accommodate potential industrial development?
People want transparency. They deserve to know the full scope, impact, and motivation behind this project.
