Water System Improvement Updates

Water & Wastewater Department Posted on June 18, 2025

Jordan Well No. 10: Drilling has reached the target depth, with the static water level measured at 525 feet below the surface. The drill has been removed and remaining equipment will be cleared from the site once testing is complete. During testing, water will be pumped into the storm sewer at 2nd Avenue and Broad Street. While the crew intends to contain the water from the testing, some water may reach the roadway.

Raw Water Transmission Line: Installation of the raw water transmission main is complete. Only minor site cleanup remains.

Water Tower: The foundation for the new water tower has been poured and construction of the pedestal will begin soon. Expected completion of the water tower is fall 2026.

Nanofiltration Water Treatment Plant: WRH has begun pouring footings and foundation walls and is receiving deliveries of materials. Construction of the clearwell (the enclosed tank that holds treated water before distribution to the public) will begin in the coming weeks. The overall project remains on schedule, with completion anticipated in summer 2027.
