Utilities
The City of Harvard Utilities Department is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the City's water and wastewater systems with four certified operators who are cross trained in water and wastewater operations.
Source Water
The City of Harvard utilizes three active community water supply wells
- Well #6 which pumps 550 GPM
- Well #9 which pumps 1000 GPM
- Well #10 which pumps 1800 GPM
Wells #6 is located on O'Brien St., north of State Route 173, and utilizes an undefined sand and gravel aquifer.
Well #9 is located 1/4 mile north of State Route 173 west of Harvard Road and utilizes a deep bedrock aquifer of the Glenwood and St. Peter/Iron & Galesville sandstone formation.
Well #10 is located at 300 Lawrence Rd.
Water Storage Capacity
- Tower #1 500,000 gallons
- Tower #2 300,000 gallons
- Tower #3 750,000 gallons
Harvard uses an average of 700,000 gallons per day. The wastewater treatment plant treats an average of 1.4 million gallons per day and utilizes fixed film treatment.
Hydrant Flushing
The Utilities Dept. will flush and test hydrants twice a year. Flushing helps the City clean the water main by removing sediment and rust deposits and allows the City to verify the condition of all the fire hydrants. Hydrant flushing may create rust and brown colored water. The water is safe to drink but will stain clothes washed in it. If you experience rusty water, let your faucet run until clear.
