In 2022, when the community met at Gospel City to discuss the future of our water system, there were two main options:
💧 Purchase water from Arlington
💧 Maintain our own independent system
The ultimate decision was to invest in our system and add RO filtration to improve the taste. Since then, we've acquired land, drilled a new well at Miller, and designed three RO systems. Two of these filtration systems are on-site and staff is finalizing the last few details before bringing them online.
The bid for the new elevated storage tower will be considered by Council next week and we'll begin on the new well at 303 once we get approvals from the State agencies involved.
It's been a long wait and, as we approach the finish line, there's been some wondering what it might look like if we'd chosen Arlington water instead. Though we can't answser that with certainty, we can compare our rates to the two cities that purchase from them.
