Our Mutual Water System

The College Park Mutual Water Co. is a public water community company providing potable water to about 244 people through 76 metered service connections.

Our water system is composed of a Main Well (Well #4) and a Backup Well (Well #1) located on Lichau Rd which are pumped to fill a 60,000-gallon tank on Oakridge (Tank #1). A Transfer Booster Station on Acacia Way brings water from Tank #1 to a 2nd 60,000-gallon tank (Tank #2) at the top of Acacia.  All connections receive water by gravity from these 2 tanks.

A communication support system interconnects pumps and tanks to maintain the water levels in the tanks 24/7.

In 2025, the company installed an automatic backup generator for our main well pumps and backup batteries for our communication support system, allowing to maintain water service for more than 60 hours during power outages.

While clean water is available and simple to get through a faucet in your home, what goes on behind the scenes requires the input of many parts and people: knowledge of our water collection and distribution system,  expertise of chemical, biological and technical processes, compliance with health regulations, budgeting to run the day-to-day business while preparing for the future and the unexpected.

• Water Treatment and Quality Monitoring

• Equipment Repair and Maintenance
