Infrastructure:
Water is delivered under pressure from wells through a network of buried pipes. House service lines, which are smaller pipes, are attached to the water main to bring water from the distribution system to your house or business. Water pressure is provided by pumping water into storage tanks that store water at higher elevations than the customers they serve. The force of gravity then "pushes" the water into your home when you open your faucet. Our New water tank does not have height, rather uses pumps to supply water at a consistent pressure.

Capital Projects:
The Districts is actively pursuing new sources of water to meet the ever increasing demand for water. One new source has been found and approved by D.E.P. A second new source has been found and a pumping test is scheduled to determine if it is a viable site. The First new source will be required to have a filtration Plant to remove excess manganese. The results of the new pumping test from the second source will better help us determine the right type of filtration needed to treat the new sources and the district’s existing supplies.

What’s New?
The District’s new 1.25 Million Gallon Storage Tank and Pump house went on-line in early 2005. It was instrumental in the district having the least amount of watering restrictions over the past few years. This was a great triumph for all the customers that have waited so long for this improvement. With continued support and conservation from all water users, the district hopes to be able to continue this trend.
