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.
