The Evans City Council is divided into three "Wards" in order to balance the number of residents represented by two Council Members in each Ward. Chapter 3.2 of the Evans Home Rule Charter requires "the City to be divided into three Wards comprised of compact and contiguous territory so as to contain as nearly possible an equal number of inhabitants. The City Council shall, as deemed necessary, readjust the Ward boundaries to comprise compact and contiguous territory for each ward to contain as nearly as possible an equal number of residents." 

The City Council Ward boundaries were last adjusted on July 31, 2017 by Ordinance 671-17.  Below is a description of each Ward with a link to the Ward boundary map.
