Pooler, Georgia is a beautiful city just west of Savannah. This growing community of more than 21,000 people requires comprehensive municipal works behind-the-scenes to make it run … like wastewater treatment.

As the population has quadrupled over the last 20 years, those hidden processes have become less of a secret.
