Williamstown Lake - Source of Williamstown WaterOUR WATER SOURCE
Williamstown water source is the Williamstown Lake – the raw, untreated water comes entirely from this 330-acre man-made lake.  At the treatment plant a continuous laboratory analysis is performed on the water and in the distribution system to ensure that all water treated at the facility meets or exceeds state and federal water quality compliance standards. This insures we have high quality drinking water at the tap!




Inside Water Department - GAC'sPROTECTING OUR WATER SOURCE

Our raw water source comes from Williamstown Lake, protecting our drinking water starts at the source!
What would happen if a large algae bloom occurred or a boating accident on the lake resulted in a petroleum spill?
Williamstown Treatment Plant has 3 large Granulated Activated Carbon Tanks (GAC's) that can absorb any spills that may occur and purifies the water before it goes through other treatments throughout the plant.
