The City of Statesboro will host a Water & Sewer public information meeting on Monday, September 30, 2024, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Statesboro City Hall council chambers. Members of the public are invited to attend and learn more about the city’s water and sewer system.
“Our goal for this meeting is to educate residents and business owners about the city’s water and sewer system,” says Steve Hotchkiss, Director of Public Utilities for the City of Statesboro. “With all of the new development coming to Statesboro, we’ve received some questions about our system and whether it can handle the growth. We’d like to share with the public what our current usage metrics are and what our capacity looks like for the future.”
Assistant City Manager Jason Boyles gave the Statesboro City Council a preview of the water and sewer presentation at their monthly work session on September 17. During the presentation, Boyles walked the council through the city’s extensive water and sewer system, which currently serves approximately 13,000 customers with an average daily water consumption of 3.7 million gallons.
Boyles told the council that the public information meeting on September 30 was not a new concept. “This is what we like to do any time we have something that is of a broader interest in the community,” he explained. He went on to share that the information meeting and presentation would be recorded and shared publicly for anyone unable to attend the Monday meeting.

The City of Statesboro invites residents and interested parties to attend the meeting and learn more about the city’s water and sewer system. Statesboro Public Utilities staff will be on-site to answer questions. A recording of the Monday night meeting will be uploaded to the “City of Statesboro” YouTube channel the following day.
