Gas

Water

The city maintains pipelines and contracts for up to 2 million gallons per day from Coweta County and the City of LaGrange.

Sewer
In 2020, Hogansville opened a newly upgraded Wastewater Treatment Plant, increasing capacity from 650,000 gallons per day to 1.5 million gallons per day. The $8.7 million project was funded through a combination of USDA loans and grants, along with investment from the Meriwether Sewer Authority, which holds a 25% ownership interest. This upgrade supports anticipated residential and commercial growth in the coming years.
