Water Treatment Division

The Water Treatment Division operates the City's water treatment plant, which produces and distributes an average of 8.8 million gallons of drinking water per day (the plant has an 18 million gallons per day capacity). 

The plant has 5 million gallons of on-site finished water storage and a dewatering building to get rid of the solids that accumulate in the water treatment process. Eight pumping stations and 11 finished water storage tanks distribute water throughout the system. The water treatment plant is located in the western part of the City and draws water directly from the Catawba River.
