The HCWSA has a number of educational and recreational facilities that are open to the public. While public access is monitored and limited, the following facilities do provide sites for public involvement in community environmental issues and events.

Fishing and Boating on the Authority's Reservoirs

Any resident or property owner of Henry County may obtain
a permit to fish in the Authority's reservoirs by paying the established fee and signing the required release form. A
permit may be obtained from the HCWSA Administration
Building during normal business hours.

Fishing is permitted in designated reservoirs from March through November from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only, plus Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day. However, the Authority may need to close a reservoir and prohibit fishing and boating according to management's discretion, for maintenance or operations purposes.

The Authority allows permit holders to take one guest with them for boating and fishing, including children, without requiring an additional permit.

The annual cost of a fishing permit is $40. The fees are collected to offset the expenses incurred by the Authority for the operation and maintenance of the reservoirs for recreational purposes.

There are regulations for permit holders to adhere to while on the Authority's reservoir property. For more information call 678-583-3930 or visit www.hcwsa.org.
