The water plant has a maximum pumpage of 2 Million gallons per day. The plant went on-line in 1997. It's intent was to filter the ground water in which the City had a problem with high levels of iron and manganese. Other operators have a high level of carpentry and construction skills, which help in the construction of the various types of waterfront boardwalks. Public works operators maintain 10.35 miles of major streets and 20.71 miles of local streets.
Maintenance consists of cold patching potholes, line striping, cleaning catch basins and sweeping.
Crews also build approximately 500 - 1500 feet of new streets almost yearly. During street construction, crews install all of our own water and sewer main along with the necessary drainage. Upon completion, the necessary testing is done to the mains. Last year the City purchased a television camera for inspecting sewer mains because of the increasing cost for sewage treatment. Crews are televising sewer mains throughout the year, and the problem areas are repaired by Public Works crews.
