Georgia's Summer Burn Ban Starts Today – May 1!

From May 1 through September 30, open burning of yard and land-clearing debris is prohibited in 54 Georgia counties to help reduce harmful ozone pollution during the summer months. ​

What’s Banned: Burning of yard waste and land-clearing debris​

What’s Allowed: Campfires and BBQs Agricultural and prescribed burns (with proper permits, except in the 19-county metro Atlanta area) ​

This annual ban, in place since 2005, aims to protect air quality and public health—especially for children, seniors, and those with respiratory conditions. ​

Need alternatives to burning? Consider composting, mulching, or hauling debris to an approved facility. ​ Let's keep Georgia's air clean this summer!

 

 

Beginning April 8, 2025, City of Fairburn Utilities will be conducting a Water Meter Change-Out Program to replace 1,250 aged meters throughout the city. This project is essential to ensure accurate readings and improved service.

What to Expect:

  • The change-out will be conducted by Aqua Meter Consultants on behalf of Fairburn Utilities.

  • You may experience a temporary disruption of service during the change-out.

  • Meters are located outside of homes within the street right of way – no need to be home for the change-out.

  • Contractors will have proper identification and marked vehicles.

  • No technician will need to enter your home at any time.

  • You may receive a courtesy “knock-on-the-door” when the technician arrives.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to enhance your utility service!

For questions or concerns, please contact Fairburn Utilities at (770) 969-3481 during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).
