The Water Services Division is comprised of fourteen employees who are responsible for all water and sewer infrastructure on the City’s system. The Division responds to water main breaks, sewer back-ups, sewer and water-related customer concerns, locating water and sewer lines prior to construction activities, and reading water meters. The Division also maintains the fountains in the downtown area of Sager Creek.
Wastewater Collection System
The Division maintains approximately 122 miles of sewer lines and 1500 sewer manholes. Sewer lines collect a variety of debris, so Division staff must keep the lines clear by the use of a water-jetting machine.
Approximately 390 manholes were inspected during 2017. Wastewater Services crew is checking for damaged manholes and lids, infiltration of rain water, rocks, and debris, as well as damaged lines. They also check the flow through the line.
