The City of Dubuque’s Eagle Point Water Plant sources water from aquifers and produces an average of 6.5 million gallons of treated water per day. The treated water is distributed through more than 330 miles of water mains, that are controlled by 8,008 control valves. The City’s water supply is available to over 2,606 fire hydrants and to more than 23,880 service connections.
“Our water department staff takes great pride in delivering high quality drinking water to our community at an affordable cost,” said City of Dubuque Water Department Director Chris Lester. “Providing safe and reliable drinking water is a tremendous responsibility that we take very seriously.”
When compared to the other large cities in Iowa that soften their drinking water, Dubuque has the fourth-lowest rate, which translates to $43.74 per month for the average household, or simply stated, 65 cents per 100 gallons.
