Water

Water is provided from six deep wells approximately 500 feet deep. These wells pump water to three water treatment plants where the water is disinfected to ensure no organisms are present, fluoride is added to strengthen the teeth of young people, and pH is adjusted to make the water non-corrosive to customers' pipes and tanks.

From the treatment plants, more than 5,000 gallons of water per minute are pumped to the distribution system. Additionally, five elevated water tanks located throughout the system provide 1.1 million gallons of storage capacity and also ensure adequate water pressure to all customers. Additional ground storage tanks bring the system storage capacity to 1,775,000 gallons.

The distribution system is comprised of 150 miles of water mains ranging in size from three-quarters of an inch to 22 inches in diameter which provide water to residents of Fort Valley, as well as many residents of Peach County and some residents of Macon County.

We have one of only 35 certified water testing laboratories recognized by EPD in the State with four certified laboratory operators Three of our five water plant operators have Class I licenses, the highest rating from the State Professional Board.
