Water Quality
This Division is divided into three sub-divisions: Water Maintenance Division, Water Quality Division, and Sewer Maintenance Division, which provide for the maintenance and operation of the City's water system and sanitary sewer collection system.
Their goal is to provide a safe, efficient, and continuous supply of fresh water, ensuring the potability of the City's water supply and making sure that the City sewer infrastructure can effectively collect and deliver wastewater to the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
They are responsible for 19 groundwater wells, with another new well under construction, the Loy E. Cook 1-million gallon water storage tower, and over 200 miles of water distribution pipelines. They are mandated by State and Federal regulations to keep a variety of records regarding water production and consumption, testing for biological and mineral contaminants, system performance, and frequency and type of water treatment. They administer the Water Waste Patrol program and oversee a city-wide cross-connection control and backflow prevention program as well as testing, repairing, and certifying City owned backflow devices. They maintain approximately 140 miles of sanitary sewer mains in a system that includes five sewer lift pump stations and main pipelines ranging in size from 6" to 48".
They frequently interact with the public, providing assistance when emergency repairs are needed as well as responding to questions from the public regarding water and sewer concerns.
