Water Distribution Division

Responsibilities

It is the responsibility of this division to install, repair, and maintain the water distribution pipes that deliver potable water obtained by various sources from the water treatment division to the industrial, commercial, and residential customers of the water utility of the City of Ferris.  When necessary, this division is responsible for designing and installing extensions and improvements to the system that will provide for better flow in the existing system and provide water utility to addition customers.  When leaks or breaks occur within the distribution system, it is this division’s responsibility to find and repair those leaks.  The Division Superintendent works with the Public Works Director and the City’s Engineering Consultant to suggest, design, and implement improvements to the system.  The budget for this system includes money for engineering and materials for those purposes.
