Wastewater The City provides pristine water from our very own well field. We maintain:

• 10 wells
• 4 booster pumps
• two 2.35 million-gallon storage tanks

We also maintain 1,700 water services with meters, fire hydrants, and approximately 6.5 miles of transmission lines and 36.5 miles of distribution water lines.

Brush! has its own water wells, drawing from the Beaver Creek aquifer. We are one of the few cities in the state which has water so pure that chlorination is not required before it is put into the distribution system for consumption. The only thing added is fluoride to help prevent tooth decay. Additionally, the water is naturally filtered by area sandhills.

We bill in arrears so the bill you receive the first of every month is actually for the previous month. Summer months are particularly high because of the yard watering. If you think your bill is out of line, call City Hall (842-5001) and we will check your meter.

Please refer to the water conservation measures on this website.

Monthly bills are the property owner's responsibility and are sent to the property owner. Renter's should work out payment details with the landlord.
