Tomah Water Utility

Mission Statement


In order to furnish safe drinking water and to provide adequate fire protection, the City of Tomah maintains five active wells with a total of 3,050 gallons per minute capacity. There is also one inactive well at this time, S-8 at 300 McAdams Drive with a capacity of 800 gallons per minute. This well has been out of service since April 2002 due to V.O.C. contamination. A study is planned to decide its future. Well #6 located at 517 Packard St has iron removal and Well #10 located at 23082 Flare Ave has radium removal. Our system also includes: 1,000,000 gallon reservoir; a 500,000 gallon tower; 338,871 feet of water mains (2”-14” diameter); 3,083 water services; 3,459 water meters, 496 fire hydrants; and 787 water main valves.



Maintenance includes: daily inspection at all 5 wells and testing water as required; monthly checks at the water tower and reservoir. Water mains and services are repaired as needed. Water meters are repaired or replaced as required by the Department of Natural Resources and Public Service Commission rules. Approximately 350 meters require testing each year. Fire hydrants are operated and inspected twice each year during the water main flushing programs. Water main valves are tested on a five-year rotation and are checked by closing and opening.
