The City of

 Your water is very high quality from the
aquifer and only requires a small amount of treatment and
disinfection to safeguard the public health. Your drinking water
is routinely monitored for many contaminants. All community
water systems, including the City of Minneola, are required to
report to you the results of these tests on our
Consumer
Confidence Report.
As a municipal utility, the City of Minneola
has a responsibility to safely provide reliable, quality utility services to its
customers. Every day our customers use millions of gallons of water without a
second thought. We consider this a vote of confidence in your water supply
system and we are proud to have earned your trust.
The City of Minneola has two water treatment
Facilities:
The Eastridge Water Treatment Plant has two
wells which pump 2000 gallons per minute, a 300,000 gallons
ground storage tank, three (3) high service pumps which maintain
system pressure and a chlorination system that notifies
operators of any problem 24 hours a day.
The Oak Valley Water Treatment Plant is our
newest facility. This facility is very similar to Eastridge with
two wells; however, the facility pumps 1600 gallons per minute
and has a 5000,000 gallon ground storage tank.
Our water treatment system is looped so that
either plant is able to provide water to the entire City. These
two "State of the Art" plants are more than capable of supplying
our water needs now and in the future.
The St. John's River Water Authority
Management District's water conservation and water restrictions
rule applies to all areas of Lake County and must be followed by
all residents of the County, including City of Minneola
residents. Use of water by automatic and manual systems for
landscape irrigation is prohibited between the hours of 10 am to
4 pm seven days a week, regardless of the water source. Odd
numbered addresses may water on Wednesday and Saturday only.
Even numbered addresses, or common areas, may water Thursday and
Sunday only.
