Water Distribution


The City of Madisonville Water Department strives to supply its customers with the safest and highest quality water possible while maintaining adequate water pressure to insure the needs of the customer are met. 

The City of Madisonville Water Distribution system is made up of 182 miles of main lines.  These lines are constructed of different materials with 1% being galvanized pipe, 13% PVC, 39% cast iron and 47% ductile iron.  The water mains range in size from 2" to 16".

The system is also made up of 1380 fire hydrants.  The fire hydrants are flushed two times per year.  This flushing program helps in water quality and also insures that all fire hydrants are working properly. 

The City of Madisonville maintains four water storage tanks consisting of three 1,000,000 gallon tanks and one 3,000,000 gallon tank.

The water distribution system serves approximately 10,000 residential and commercial customers.
