Your Reliable, Safe Drinking Water We serve more than 194,800 customers an average of 96 million gallons of water per day. Under normal growth patterns, we add approximately 2,500 water customers a year. In our 90-year-plus history, our customer-owners have found our water supply to be plentiful and reliable. However, water demand could outstrip supplies, forcing mandatory restrictions and conservation measures. Nearly three decades ago, we began developing plans for a third water treatment facility to add 100 million gallons of water per day to our current 234-million-gallon-per-day capacity. The treatment plant is under construction at 216th and Q Streets. The $352-million project, designed to meet Omaha drinking water needs for the next 50 to 60 years, is expected to be on-line in 2008. The plant will be M.U.D.'s third water treatment facility, forming a "triangle of reliability," around the Omaha metro area.
