Massive Westside Quarry Project is Actually Happening
What looks like a gargantuan, half-buried oyster shell west of Midtown could be a sparkling, life-sustaining water source for Atlanta within the next two and 1/2 years.
Atlanta Department of Watershed Management officials tell 11Alive that testing has begun this week for a tunneling project that will transform the Beltline-connected Bellwood Quarry into a deep, 30-day water source for the city. The current backup water supply is just three days.
