Fairhope’s Water Department dates to 1916
when a “modern” steel water tower was
installed behind the city hall (now the new
Museum of History). Prior to that, from
Fairhope’s founding in 1894, residents relied
on a town pump located in the middle of the
intersection of Fairhope Avenue and Section
Street.
Today, Fairhope’s Water Department is the
largest supplier of water in Baldwin County,
with nearly 15,500 hookups, serving an
estimated 45,000 people. The City operates
five water towers with 6.6 million gallons of
storage and pumps an average of 4.6 million
gallons of water a day from ten wells, all
drawing from a vast underground aquifer. In
2007, the water department earned a Water
Fluoridation Quality Award that recognizes a
year of consistent fluoride levels for optimum
oral health.
In 2007, the City’s Wastewater Treatment
Plant was awarded “Best Operated Plant” in the
state in its size category. The Wastewater
division maintains and oversees 65 wastewater
lift stations and 129 miles of sewer lines.
