Municipal Utility Services
Utility services are billed monthly for water, wastewater, storm sewer, garbage and recycling.
WATER: The City’s water system consists of two wells (429 and 343 feet deep) into the Cedar Valley/Devonian aquifer. The City has two storage tanks capable of holding 250,000 and 50,000 gallons. The wells are capable of a combined flow of almost 400 gallons per minute. Water is treated with liquid bleach, aeration, and by iron and manganese removal prior to transfer to the towers or mains. Fluoride is added for dental hygiene and phosphate for red water conditions. The water plant is capable of producing 518,000 gallons per day.
WASTE WATER: Approximately 75% of the City has sanitary sewer lines that connect with the sewage treatment facility while the remaining dwellings utilize private septic systems. The sewage facility was constructed in 1974 and consists of a 2-cell waste stabilization lagoon. The lagoon is located southeast of the City. The combined surface area of the two cells is 27 acres. Waste water is pumped to the lagoon by two lift stations. The facility is designed for an organic loading of carbonaceous biological oxygen of 275 pounds per day. The flow is 197,000 gallons per day with 324 pounds of suspended solids per day.
