    Nearly four million gallons of wastewater was dumped into Lake Allatoona this week, according to Cobb County.

    The county’s communications department said the 3.85 million gallons released into Lake Allatoona Wednesday was not enough to classify a spill, per the Georgia Environmental Protection Divisions standards.

    The treated release from the Northwest Water Reclamation Facility did not meet the facility’s standards but, the county water system said, will not impact drinking water supplies.
