LBV Water Tower Will be OUT OF SERVICE From Aproximately May 5th-May 24th
Fun Facts About the LBV Water Tower
  • The LBV Water Tower was constructed in 1984.
  • It stands just over 110' tall!
  • The diameter of the bowl that holds all the water is 46.5'.
  • During the winter we hold anywhere from 210,000-255,000 gallons in it at all times.
  • During the summer the water level inside the tank is raised to hold up to 294,000 gallons!
  • Because of the height of the water tower and it's capability to hold so much water, we are able to maintain roughly 60 PSI throughout the system at all times while providing water to all our residents.
  • There are three production wells throughout the community that produce water to be stored in the tank.
  • The lowest amount of water pumped in a one day period within the last four years is 116,000 gallons.
  • The most water pumped in a single day within the last four years is 1.97 million gallons of water.
Planned Maintenance
Tuesday, May 4th the water tower will be taken out of service and drained for a planned 10 year interior inspection. The inspection and repairs will start Monday, May 10th and take approximately two weeks. Because the water tower is being taken out of service, we will not have the luxury of the continuous 60 PSI created by the height and storage capacity of the tower. For the roughly three weeks the tower is out of service, we will be running our entire system on continuous pressure created by one or more of the production wells. At times, there may be a build up in system pressure and pressure gauge relief valves are attached to selected hydrants to reduce the built up pressure. During this period we are trying to minimalize water use and are asking to refrain from using any and all lawn irrigation sprinklers.
