An aerial view of the Coffee Creek Water Resources Recovery Facility — just one part of Edmond’s extensive water system fully explained on Page 3. Have you ever wondered where the water comes from once you turn on the faucet? In Edmond, it’s a well thought out process that requires planning — both short term and long term. The issue is explained thoroughly in this month’s City Source feature — found in today’s issue. Not only is the system complex — but about a half a billion dollars will be invested to make sure the city continues to have the water its citizens need. Delivering water to homes and businesses isn’t the only concern. The city map out water needs for Edmond — but they have to plan on waste water systems as well. Although we may take all of it for granted, a great deal of organization and planning is needed. Please see Page 3 for this month’s City Source feature.
