The City of Fulton Water Department provides safe drinking water to City residents and residents of the Southwest Water District in Fulton and Hickman Counties. Chorine gas is utilized for disinfection, lime is added for ph adjustment and fluoride is added per Commonwealth of Kentucky standards. All water testing is conducted by a state approved laboratory. The total production capacity is 1.5 million gallons per day and the City has an approved well-head protection area.
The Water Department personnel maintain current State Certifications and training as prescribed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky to insure the safest water quality available.
The City has just completed three (3) separate water projects totaling $1.2 million to upgrade our water facilities. Two of our elevated water storage tanks were lead abated and painted. One of these received a new circulation pump. A new clear well, to treat potable drinking water, was also constructed.
