Oak Ridge Water System Resource Library

Oak Ridge's Water system will be based on a water main from Forsyth County and a series of community wells dedicated to the Town in new subdivisions with 30 or more homes. Homes along the water main's path which are serviced by individual wells will not be required to connect to the water main, but will be given the option to do so.
