The City of Walker's Water Department maintains high standards of clean and healthy water for the citizens of this community. The city provides water services to more than 4,200 customers within the city limits and surrounding areas. The water system consists of three water wells and one 200,000 gallon elevated water tower, which produces about 1.6 million gallons of water per day.

TIPS FOR CONSERVING WATER:

This UDCP will enable the City of Walker to manage its water system and water resources in a conscientious, fair, and appropriate manner during certain situations when water use reductions are necessary. It is not designed to punish, stigmatize, or criticize anyone about their usage of water. Its sole intent is to maintain an adequate supply of water during the various stages of drought conditions or other water supply emergencies, which may occur from time to time.

The City of Walker believes that significant reductions in water usage can be achieved through drought triggered water use restrictions and voluntary efforts by end-users. Implementation of voluntary water conservation measures and conscientious water use practices are encouraged at all times; however, additional water use restrictions are required in cases of extreme drought, periods of abnormally high usage, system contamination, or extended reduction in ability to supply water due to equipment failure. Should drought conditions reach more severe levels, the City of Walker has planned and is prepared to restrict or curtail certain types of usage.

SAFE DRINKING WATER PROGRAM

 

In addition to the consumer survey that is available each year, the Walker water system is in compliance with the state’s lead and copper rule and has maintained a stellar record with no lead or copper contaminants exceeding acceptable levels over the last 10 years.  The Walker water system utilizes a special polyphosphate additive that not only sequesters manganese, but is an anti-corrosion agent as well.  If any homes/businesses connected to our water system contain any lead or copper pipes, the additive helps prevent any lead or copper leeching into the customer's water.
