Water
The Water Department within Public Works is charged with the responsibility for producing, storing, and delivering over 500,000,000 gallons of safe and secure drinking water to the Globe community each year.
The Department consists of ten staff, with 6 operators/technicians responsible for the repair, replacement, and maintenance of the distribution lines and valves as well as the installation of new taps for homes and businesses. There are 3 operators/technicians and 1 mechanic/technician responsible for monitoring and maintaining 6 production wells, 5 primary and remote booster stations, 9 storage reservoirs, and all state and federally mandated water quality testing.
Something to think about:
- Cost of 1,000 gallons of City of Globe Water, $3.69
- Cost of 1,000 gallons of gasoline, $2600.00
- Life expectancy without water, 7 days
- Life expectancy without gasoline, 77 years
