The modernized water treatment plant project included a complete new plant control system and improvements to insure the finished water would comply with the new EPA drinking water standards which came into effect January 1, 2004. This new upgrade now allows our water plant the capacity of 4.2 mgd with a peak demand of 2.2 mgd. Therefore allowing an adequate capacity available for increased water demands. ($2,700,000)
Stilwell's water system consists three raw water sources: City Lake, Starr Springs, and Evansville Creek, and a clear well holding approximately 300,000 gallons in storage, and three water storage tanks totaling approximately 2,000,000 gallons.
