Since 1914, Easton Utilities has been dedicated to providing clean, clear, healthy water in plentiful supply to all of the town's residents. Throughout each year, our fully trained and certified staff carefully monitors water quality.

The Water Department currently serves 6,000 customers through 84 miles of water mains and over 550 fire hydrants. Easton Utilities pumps water from naturally filtered underground aquifers (water-bearing sands) through six wells that are 1,000 to 1,200 feet deep. We then treat the water as required and pump it into the distribution system. The water that comes out of a customer's tap includes water from each of these wells. No single well provides all of a customer's water. Of those wells, four are drilled 1,000 feet into the Magothy Aquifer. The final two wells are drilled 1,200 feet into the Upper Patapsco Aquifer and feed directly into a state-of-the-art water treatment plant on Glebe Road.

The storage capacity of Easton's Water Department is 2 million gallons, which is met through two separate 1 million gallon storage tanks. In 2005, Easton Utilities added the second 1-million gallon elevated water storage tank to improve fire flow capability, boost system-wide water pressure, and add capacity sufficient to accommodate the Town's future needs.
