The water system encompasses an area of approximately 5.25 square miles with about 3,250 connections serving approximately 10,400 people.
The water system consists of four major pressure zones, 35 miles of water main, five wells, six pressure reducing stations, six intertie/metering stations,
three reservoirs, two booster pump stations and 275 fire hydrants.
The wells have a pumping capability of 2,230 gallons per minute. One of the reservoirs is a
3.0 million gallon tank, which is jointly owned with the adjacent water district to the south. The other two reservoirs each have a capacity of 0.5 million gallons.
The water produced by the District’s wells is of superior taste and quality. Unlike many of the regional surface water systems, there are no chemicals
added to the District’s water for treatment purposes. Because disinfection is not required, the water is less expensive than disinfected surface water. The
cost savings from this is passed on directly to our customers.
