The City is investing in critical upgrades to our water system, including construction of four new water towers and improvements to our pump stations. These projects will help ensure safe, reliable water service for years to come – especially during times of high demand or unexpected system issues.

Why Water Towers Matter

Water towers play a key role in how water is distrubuted through the city. They store a large amount of treated drinking water and maintain consistent pressure in the system.

Because water towers use gravity to create pressure, they continue to provide water even if there's a temporary power outage or a disruption somewhere else in the system. This built-in relieability helps keep water flowing to homes, businesses, and emergency services when it's needed most.

They are especially important during:

• peak usage times, like mornings and evenings
• firefighting and other emergency situations
• system maintenance or repairs

Water towers are a standard part of municipal infrastructure and do not negatively impact property values.

Locations

The towers are strategically located new major water mains and in areas where added pressure and storage will have the greatest system-wide impact.
