Storage Facilities - The Water Division operates and maintains 22 storage reservoirs spread strategically throughout the City. These reservoirs vary in size from 20,000 gallons to over 8 million gallons each. These reservoirs are critical to provide the proper pressure in the system as well as supply during high demands and for emergency firewater protection.

Distribution Stations - The Water Division operates 16 pump stations throughout the City of which 3 are groundwater well pump stations used to augment the treated water that is distributed. In addition we operate 6 treated water stations where the final fluoridation process takes place.

Bacteriological Sampling - The Water Quality Control Lab operated by the City of Pleasanton is responsible for ensuring the safety of the drinking water supply. Routine Bacteria sampling is performed to ensure the water is safe to drink.

Water Quality Sampling - In addition to the bacteria sampling many other daily and weekly samples are analyzed to maintain a safe drinking supply. Including analysis for chlorine residual, pH, total dissolved solids, ammonia, temperature, conductivity, turbidity, hardness and fluoride concentration. More information is available in the annual water quality report.

Computerized Control - The entire water system is controlled with the use of a sophisticated computerized system called a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) This system connects the pump stations and reservoirs together using a radio telemetry system to communicate to a central control computer at the Water Division. This system allows us to employ many backup and safety features that would not be possible if it were done manually. In addition we are able to program for more efficient operations and save ratepayers money.
