The City of Goodland Water Department is staffed by a three person crew, and is responsible for the installation, maintenance, replacement and repair of main water lines, water meters, and fire hydrants. This department is also responsible for locating the city’s main lines for purposes of excavation by others and any tapping of any main line for secondary service lines when required.
The Water Department maintains and operates the eleven (11) water wells that supply all water to the City of Goodland. The City pumps approximately 600,000 million gallons of water per year to supply the needs of the community. In addition, the City has four elevated water storage towers capable of storing approximately 1.5 million gallons of water, and it is the responsibility of the water department to inspect and maintain this system. The Water Department also is responsible for the operation of the Water Treatment Plant, which aids with the treatment of nitrates in the system. In 2009 the City was granted 1.3 million dollars through ARRA Stimulus Monies to construct the Water Treatment Facility.
The City of Goodland Wastewater Department employs two persons. This department is responsible for the inspection and maintenance of the City’s main sewer lines, lift stations, and wastewater treatment facility.
