MMWC's Waterworks

Waterworks MMWC's waterworks includes two wells in the Gillette Flats area (a main well installed in the early 1980s and a back-up well installed in the mid-1990s), a 250,000 gallon storage tank on the southeast side of Rhyolite Mountain, five smaller water tanks located in the CCME subdivision that hold between 20,000 and 30,000 gallons each, and over 65 miles of transmission lines and mains. MMWC has a user density of about 5 tapped users per mile of mains. Colorado Springs Utilities, by contrast, has a user density of about 73 tapped users per mile of mains. About 2/3 of MMWC's transmission and distribution lines -- most of which was installed in the 1970s -- is comprised of 3"- diameter schedule 40 PVC (with low pressure and volume capacity) pipe. MMWC plans to replace its transmission line with 6"-diameter, high-density polyethylene pipe, in order to supply its mains with the volume and pressure needed to serve CCME's growing population. Over a long time frame, MMWC plans to replace its mains with 4"-diameter pipe. A Google Earth-based video of MMWC’s waterworks is provided below.
