Water
The City’s Water Department strives to provide residents and businesses with a safe and reliable quantity of water for both domestic and fire protection use. The Water Department works to maintain and improve water service infrastructure and assists the Finance Department with water billing issues and coordination of meter readings, final readings, etc. The water supply in Farmer City is currently derived from 4 wells (#11, OlsGold, McConkey and Luck). We treat our water by iron removal filtration and Zeolite softening.
The water system also includes a 300,000 gallon elevated storage tank. The Water Department maintains this infrastructure along with fire hydrants, service connections and water meters. The Finance Department analyzes water meter readings and ensures accurate water billings are mailed monthly to all customers.

The City’s Sewer Department is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the City’s sanitary sewer system. This department provides for the treatment of raw sewerage via the wastewater treatment plant including an excess flow lagoon. Crews also maintain and replace any sanitary sewer lines. Staff also operates and maintains several lift stations throughout the City.
