The large blue pump pictured at left is one of the new high service pumps. These pumps are used to pump water from the clearwell (finished water) to your home. 

Each of these 150 horsepower, vertical turbine pumps are rated at 1,500 gallons per minute giving us the ability to pump 3,000 gallons per minute to town. These pumps and all of the white piping shown in the picture are part of an upgrade project completed in March 2001. This project increases the plant's high service capabilities and ability to meet increased demand.

The red pump pictured at left is one of the older pumps. This is a 2,500 gallon per minute, split case horizontal pump with a 250 horsepower electric motor.  In the event of a prolonged power outage, the diesel motor on the far end ensures uninterrupted water service to your home.
