Water Department

The Water Department of Livingston is committed to furnishing our citizens with access to clean and safe drinking water. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to uphold this commitment by meticulously maintaining the water mains, conducting thorough inspections of wells, diligently collecting and analyzing water samples, and performing a range of essential tests.

The city's water supply is derived from six wells in our community. To ensure compliance with stringent State Water Quality Standards, rigorous monthly assessments are conducted to evaluate water quality parameters. Additionally, our municipality is equipped with three reservoirs, collectively capable of storing 3,090,000 gallons of water, thus ensuring a reliable water supply for our residents.
