The daily consumption of water during the winter is around 1.4 million gallons per day. During the summer it increases to about 1.8 million gallons. Our maximum consumption day last year was June 23rd. On this day we used 2.6 million gallons!
Most of our pump stations are equipped with generator power if there should be a power outage. Each pump station has in-line treatment equipment. This aids in pH and alkalinity adjustment for corrosion purposes.
