Plant/Process Description:
Fairhope’s Water Department dates to 1916 when
a “modern” steel water tower was installed
behind the city hall (now the new Museum of
History). Prior to that, from Fairhope’s
founding in 1894, residents relied on a town
pump located in the middle of the intersection
of Fairhope Avenue and Section Street.
Today, Fairhope’s Water Department is the
largest supplier of water in Baldwin County,
with nearly 15,500 hookups, serving an estimated
45,000 people. The City operates five water
towers with 6.6 million gallons of storage and
pumps an average of 4.6 million gallons of water
a day from ten wells, all drawing from a vast
underground aquifer. In 2007, the water
department earned a Water Fluoridation Quality
Award that recognizes a year of consistent
fluoride levels for optimum oral health.
