The water system is comprised of approximately 480 miles of water main, 21 <br />groundwater wells, seven pump stations, 10 reservoirs with a storage capacity of 49 <br />million gallons, four pressure regulating stations, and seven connection points to the <br />Metropolitan Water District. The system has an average daily demand of 30 million <br />gallons from its roughly 45,500 metered service connections. <br />Water Resources is composed of six operating sections; five in the Water Enterprise <br />(Fund 060) and one in the Sanitary Sewer Enterprise (Fund 056). These sections are <br />Water Administration & Engineering, Water Utility Production & Supply, Water System <br />Maintenance, Water Meter Services, Water Quality, and Sanitary Sewer Service. While <br />the breadth of work being performed by Water Resources is extensive, staff proposes <br />the addition of a new operational section which will focus primarily on capital <br />improvements and related services for both the Water and Sewer Enterprises, such as <br />installation of pipeline, fire hydrants, water valves, large water meter services, and <br />backflow devices.
