Lake Tuscaloosa is a valuable natural resource, and thanks to the Jerry Plott Water Treatment Plant, 12 million gallons of raw water are processed every day for the surrounding community.

The plant also includes storage tanks that hold 9 million gallons of water for immediate supply on demand and a 1,500 kilovolt ampere generator to prevent service interruptions during power failures.
