The City strives to keep and maintain clean, safe drinking water. With a 4-member water crew, (3 hold state DS3 (Distribution System 3) licensing, 3 have state Class C (Water Treatment) licensing), the Public Works Water Department constructs new lines and maintains the city-wide water system. Hydrants are flushed on a regular basis by both the water department and fire department crews to help keep stagnant water from building in the lines. Chlorine is added to the lines to help keep bacteria from forming.
The city employs an electronic monitoring system, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), that transmits tower water levels, chlorine levels and PH levels to a central computer located in the Public Works building to help better maintain higher-quality drinking water.
