The system consists of pipes ranging in size from the large 30-inch transmission lines to small ¾-inch service lines.
The Utility Maintenance Division constantly strives to ensure that clean, safe water is available for both consumption and fire protection needs.

Each year, sections of pipe that have been identified, for a variety of reasons, as needing replacement are either replaced by Utility Maintenance personnel or outside contractors.
