✨ What delivering water looked like in 1926 vs. today

When MPWC was first established, the goal was simple: provide a reliable water supply to the community.

Fast forward 100 years, and that responsibility has grown to include advanced treatment processes, strict state and federal regulations, and continuous system monitoring.

Today, our system serves nearly 50,000 residents, supported by wells, treatment facilities, and a team working behind the scenes every day.

While the systems have evolved, the purpose hasn’t. We’re still here to deliver safe, dependable water to the community we call home.

At the time, materials like lead were commonly used because they were flexible and durable. Today, we know more about the long-term health risks, and standards have changed.

That’s why our team is actively replacing older service lines with safer, modern materials.

It’s one of the many ways we’re continuing to invest in the safety and reliability of your water—now and for the future.
