Constructed in 1935, the RM Clayton Water Reclamation Center (WRC), located in northwest Atlanta along the Chattahoochee River, provides wastewater treatment for a service area that encompasses north of I-20, a small portion of north Fulton County adjacent to Sandy Springs and most of north DeKalb County. The facility is designed to treat an average daily maximum monthly flow of 122 million gallons per day of wastewater for discharge to the Chattahoochee River under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit.

The Department is continuing the implementation of the Sewer Capacity Relief Program to upgrade its existing large diameter system to eliminate sanitary sewer overflows and capacity limitations. To accomplish this objective, Watershed Management is proposing system improvements for three trunk sewers located in the Proctor Creek Basin. These projects will consist of improvements to the Ashby-Jett Trunk, Lower Proctor Creek Trunk, and Terrell Creek Trunk (Phase 2) sewers.
