The Alexandria Water Department serves Alexandria's residents by providing exceptional drinking water via a Ground Water (Wells) Treatment Plant and distribution system.  Your water is checked thoroughly everyday as required by State Law.  The Department also maintains the system by fixing leaks, flushing water lines, and thawing frozen meters during harsh winter conditions.

The City's Water system is located in one of the best underground aquifer systems in the North West.  The "Tays River Valley" runs nearly 1000 feet deep under Alexandria, and is the primary source of our water.  Due to our location and proximity to this aquifer, we have access to an amazing amount of very high quality drinking water.  A recent study shows a safe yeild amount of nearly 3 Million Gallons Per Day.  With this source, we will be able to serve many more residents, as well as existing and future Industry, such as the POET ethanol site - Ultimate Ethanol, just north of Alexandria.

The City's water department has tediously been working to replace all of the City's existing water meters with a "Touch Read" meter system.  This means every water meter in town must be replaced or retrofitted with an electronic device that transmits the exact amount of water used to a transmitter on the water meter lid.  That transmitter is "touched" by the meter reader's hand held data collector "wand".  This assures for a much more accurate reading and saves labor man hours making your water department more effective and efficient.  The City is working on the last few neighborhoods and this system will be complete.  The City will have replaced nearly 2000 meters, in house with its own employees.
