Water Services and Rates

Water Distribution System

The Airport Commission provides nearly 250 million gallons of water to over 60 resident businesses, the JCPRD New Century Field House, 220 units at Woodstone Apartments, the Community Correction campus and the Fred Allenbrand Justice Center. 

Facilities

The Airport Commission maintains a 3 million gallon, above ground tank that serves as the primary storage and distribution facility as well as two underground storage tanks, totaling 750,000 gallons, that serve as a secondary distribution point. Incoming and outgoing water is measured by a recently updated SCADA system, while water entering resident businesses and facilities is monitored by a fleet of 90 plus digital meters. Customers are responsible for fire lines and water service lines from the point of connection to the Commission’s main line.
