The City's water system was constructed in 1923 and began providing water service at that time. Raw water is furnished by a nearby 100-acre reservoir which was added to the system in 1949. The present water treatment facilities have a capacity of 1,200 gallons per minute and consist of two raw water clarifiers, filtration sections, a backwash clarifier and clearwell.
Raw water is treated by several methods to obtain water quality standards.
The distribution system consists of two elevated storage tanks with a capacity of 40,000 gallons and 500,000 gallons and water mains ranging in diameter from two to twelve inches.
