Raw water is drawn from four deep wells (total capacity of 8 million gallons per day (MGD) and five shallow wells (total capacity of 13 MGD) and is pumped to the Eagle Point Water Plant at 1902 Hawthorne Street. The treatment process (rated total capacity of 20 MGD) consist of the following steps: aeration, lime softening of the water from 245 mg/l to 95 mg/l hardness (as CaCO3), recarbonation, sand filtration, chlorination and fluoridation.
The treated water is then introduced into the distribution system from two underground reservoirs (1.75 million gallon storage capacity) at the necessary rate, quality and pressure levels to meet the needs of the city. The distribution storage system consists of three elevated tanks, three stand pipes and one underground reservoir (total storage capacity of 17.45 million gallons ) and eight booster stations (total pumping capacity 10.5 MGD). This activity is located at the Eagle Point Water Plant and is staffed by a Water Plant Manager and 9 operation and maintenance employees.
