| Welcome to the “City
of Walcott’s—Water Department page”. We would like to give you
a little information on our system/systems. Walcott's new system
went on line October 21, 1997 after 2 years work. We have 2 new
wells at this site. Well #4 is 470 ft. deep and Well #5 is 455 ft.
deep. These wells were drilled in 1995. The City has two (2) water
towers, one with a capacity of 500,000 gallons and one with a
capacity of 75,000 gallons. Below are some recent photos of the
inner workings of our facility and a brief description. |

Walcott
Water Works went on line OCTOBER 21, 1997. This plant
supplies water to the City of Walcott and part of the
businesses at the I-80 interchange. Currently we are producing
approx. 200,000 gpd. This plants capacity is 1,440,000 gallons
per day. |
 |
Our
filter has 4 cells in it that backwash 1 at a time. When 1
cell is “cleaning” the other 3 are still producing water
for our residents. We will be able to add another cell in the
future as our community grows, as well as, we have the
capabilities to add a 3rd well. |
 |
This
photo contains what is called our “PRESSURE REDUCING SYSTEM”.
This system was installed to reduce the pressure from the
plant to the City . |
 |
This
photo shows our piping and to the far right is the backwash
pump. The other 3 pumps are for the production of water from
the wells. |
 |
This
is the “COMPUTERIZED CONTROL ROOM” that monitors the
complete function of the system. Daily tests are required by
the IDNR for the safety of our consumers. We treat our water
with Chlorine and Potassium Permanganate. |
