New water pumping station: The City of Celina is getting a new pump station installed that will serve our customers of the Free Hills area. This particular pump station pumps to a 75,000 gallon water tank. This will replace a pump station that has been in service for decades. This upgrade is part of the City of Celina's plan to rehabilitate the water distribution system throughout our service area in Clay County. Earlier this month, we had the water tank at the Free Hills professionally cleaned and service work completed on that tank. In the near future, service repairs and rehabilitation will begin on Marcum tank, a 500,000 gallon water tank that is our largest tank in the system by volume. We will provide updates about future upgrades as they are completed. Pictured are two photos of the new pump station and a photo of the older one.
