Programs: Water Distribution
Service Line Connections
We maintain over 5,000 service connections and over 160 miles of potable water line. We connect service lines to our main line water supply and extend that service to a meter usually located on the property line of the customer's home. Since this is what we install, we maintain the service line to the meter barrel. The home owner is then responsible for the service line from the meter barrel to their residence.
Leak Repair
Main line leaks and breaks can happen anytime of the day or night as well as anytime of the year. For this reason our crews have to be prepared at all times to address any situation that may occur to assure our customers remain in service. Our number one goal is to always provide service to our customers, but when these unforeseen events take place sometimes it is necessary to disconnect service in order to make a repair and make sure we are providing only the best quality water to our community.
Infrastructure Improvement
We have various new projects every year with the goal of improving our water system and holding our service to the highest standard for quality distribution. These projects include but are not limited to: upgrading main line size( to accommodate community growth), installing new fire hydrants( to assure fire suppression for safety), and replacing aging infrastructure( to supply quality drinking water).
