Neighboring the city of Adana, the U.S. Air Force is a principal tenant on the Turkish base. Ten wells, seven of which are on base, serve a population of roughly 6,700. Water production at Incirlik averages about 3 million gallons a day. The base water treatment plant, base storage and pumping station, and the Adana pumping station are well-maintained and operated. While the Adana pumping station and the south side storage and pumping station look their age, they are functional.
Bioenvironmental reports show no significant water quality issues.
Located on the west coast of Turkey on the Aegean Sea, the U.S. military community receives its water from the city of Izmir. The community's population, which includes servicemembers, dependents, civilians and retirees, is roughly 1,500. The municipal water system is modern and well maintained. While the water coming from the plant tends to be on the hard side, its overall quality is considered to be excellent. Water coming into common-use areas, such as school water fountains and dining facilities, has been further purified and softened.
