This fountain was once the site of a massive standpipe. Located in what is now Morrissey Park in Merchantville, the standpipe originally sat on a large concrete foundation that helped support the area’s water infrastructure many years ago.
After the standpipe was removed, the space was transformed into the fountain and sitting area the community recognizes today at the corner of Park Avenue and Maple Avenue.
As we celebrate 100 years of service, it’s been exciting to look back at how pieces of local infrastructure have evolved alongside the communities around them.
The MPWC is currently recruiting for two positions: Plant Operator & Field Service Technician. Visit our website for more information about each position and how to apply: mpwc.com/employment-opportunities/
💧 Did You Know? Yes, your water meter is communicating with us!
MPWC uses data collection antennas throughout the service area to retrieve quarterly meter readings and monitor usage trends more efficiently.
This technology helps improve accuracy, identify unusual usage patterns, and support system monitoring across the communities we serve.
Most people never notice the system working behind the scenes but it’s helping us better understand and manage water usage every day.
