WATER AND SEWER SERVICES
Using money collected from water/sewer bills and various fees associated with water and sewer services the Public Works Department provides safe and clean drinking water for the town and also treats and disposes of waste water. To provide these services, the town operates and maintains a water treatment plant, three water towers, a wastewater treatment plant, and several lift and pump stations. Providing drinking water and disposing of wastewater is a serious matter and working in and on these facilities requires extensive training and certification. Drinking water quality and the cleanliness of wastewater discharge is strictly monitored and regulated by the state and federal government to maximize water consumer safety and minimize environmental impact.
