Water Department

The Water Department is responsible for maintaining the water production and delivery infrastructure, including both potable and non-potable water systems. With an extensive network comprising wells, storage tanks, booster and pressure reducing stations, fire hydrants, pipelines, valves, and service lines, the Water Department ensures the integrity of the water supply throughout the community.

The Water Team

The water team comprises a dedicated group of professionals responsible for ensuring the smooth operation and maintenance of the community's water infrastructure. Led by a working supervisor, the team consists of four skilled water operators and a meter reader.

They are trained to operate and maintain various components of the infrastructure, including wells, storage tanks, booster and pressure reducing stations, pump houses, and fire hydrants. Their expertise helps to ensure a reliable supply of potable and non-potable water to the community.

Together, this dedicated water team works tirelessly to maintain the integrity of the water infrastructure, promptly address any issues or leaks, and provide a dependable water supply to the community they serve.

The Budget

The Water Department's budget is primarily supported by rate payers, who contribute to the water utility fund. Additionally, the department receives financial assistance from the Bond Redemption Fund (related to the 1995 water bonds) and the Water Development Fund. To maintain financial stability, the department also maintains a separate General Reserve Fund.

The Water Department reimburses the Roads Division for any repairs related to water infrastructure and leaks. With a focus on providing reliable and sustainable water services, the department allocates its budget to cover operational costs, infrastructure maintenance, system improvements, and emergency repairs as needed.
