Purpose

The water department is responsible for the management, planning, operation, and maintenance of all phases of water supply, treatment, storage, and distribution. 

Services

 It is responsible for the mechanical operation of and water treatment of the city swimming pool.

The city of Winner's water system is made up of seven wells, approximately 43 miles of transmission and distribution piping, two ground storage tanks, and two booster pump stations.  Water is pumped from the well field to the 1.5 million gallon (mg) ground storage tank.  All water is treated with chlorine before entering this tank.  Water then flows by gravity from the 1.5 mg tank to a 1 mg tank and to the distribution system.

The city produced 259,322,000 gallons of water in 2003.  That water was used by Residential customers (53%), commercial customers (30%), and the golf course (7%).  The average daily consumption is approximately 226 gallons of water per person per day in the city of Winner. 

The city conducts approximately 150 tests per year to make sure your water is disinfected as prescribed by the department of environment and natural resources, to insure that we provide a high quality of drinking water.
