Water System

For Information about the Water Bond Process, please follow this link:   Water System Upgrades - Update!

Background of the process prior to the Water Bond Project: 

The City Council held a Work Session, on March 18, 2015 to discuss issues with our water system, and invited citizens to join them at the Harrisburg Middle School gym.  Approximately 50 citizens joined them, the City Council invited citizens that were present to provide testimony on how they felt about the water that the City of Harrisburg provides.  The feedback from that meeting helped the City Council to move forward on the  formal process of a municipal water study. The City Council received the first draft in March of 2016 and the final water tests and study results in February of 2017. These findings were shared with our citizens and it was decided to ask the voters if they wanted to fund a large water improvement project. There were several town hall meetings, in which citizens were invited to see what improvements were recommend.  In November 2017 voters approved to move forward with water system improvements. In early 2018, the city started the pre-design work which will take several months.  It took approximately 3 different engineering firms a little over two years in order to complete the design and engineering work required to go out to public bid for the water reservoir and water filtration systems.  The City went out for bid in early fall 2021, and again, in April of 2022.

Construction is underway summer 2024

Please take a look below at the information about our current water system that was presented in the Town Hall meetings.

Information will continue to be shared with our citizens as we move forward in this process; in the Friday Updates, Newsletters, and at the Water System Upgrades webpage.
