The City’s water system is provided with water from six (6) city-owned deep basalt wells. Water is pumped from the wells to one of three water storage reservoirs. From there it enters the distribution system. The City maintains approximately 39.5 miles of water distribution lines. Our system provides high quality potable water that is sufficient in quantity for drinking, residential, commercial, and industrial customers as well as meeting the fire protection needs of our community.

The City employs staff trained and certified by the Oregon Health Division Water Program to ensure we are providing quality drinking water to our citizens. Staff performs daily monitoring and maintenance, water sampling and preventative maintenance affecting our wells and reservoirs, main lines, meters, valves, hydrants, leak detection, etc. The City has responsibility of the water system until it reaches the customers' water meter. After water reaches the meter it is the customer’s responsibility to contact a plumber for repairs as necessary.
We want your input on the City’s water utility. 

The City, in partnership with the Walla Walla Basin Watershed Council, has created the following short survey to get feedback and information from our customers.
