What is the Distribution System?

The Water Distribution department is responsible for the delivery of safe drinking with minimal interruptions. The goal of the water distribution program is to ensure that the water produced by the Water Treatment Plant is delivered to all City water customers without interruption, at appropriate pressure and is accurately measured for billing purposes. The City's water distribution system consists of 56 miles of water lines, 365 fire hydrants and approximately 500 gate valves.  Distribution pressures range from 60 to 130 psi.
