Utilities

Reliable, High-Quality, Safe Drinking Water

The Water Department is responsible for:

• Diverting and storing raw water supplies
• Processing water at treatment facilities
• Distributing treated water to Utilities' service area (PDF 395KB)
• Assuring water quality during each step of the process

To prevent pollutants and contaminants from entering the city's water system, backflow prevention assemblies are required on sprinkler systems.

The Water Supply & Demand Management Policy (PDF 91KB) guides Utilities in balancing supply and demand, even during drought conditions.
