The Water Department is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Town’s water facilities. These facilities are staffed by four State licensed operators and consist of the following:
- Water filtration plant, stand pipe and pedisphere on Collins Street
- Four production wells
- Entire distribution system
Raw water is pumped from the wells to the water treatment plant. At the water treatment plant the water passes through numerous treatment processes. The following is a brief list of these processes:
- Aeration
- Enhanced coagulation
- Flocculation
- Sedimentation
- Filtration
- Disinfection
- Fluoridation
The finished water is then pumped to the one million gallon standpipe and the 500,000 gallon pedisphere for storage. This finished water then flows by gravity at a consistent 60 pounds per square inch of pressure to the homes and businesses in our community.
The Water Department provides safe, high-quality water in a cost-effective manner.
The drinking water supplied by the Town meets or exceeds all quality standards set forth by both the State and Federal Government.
