Water Stock

The City has ownership in a variety of private and mutual water companies to supply water to the City’s Tate and Hinckley surface water treatment plants. For decades the City has increased its ownership in these companies in an effort to increase its access to a reliable local source of water. The City’s founders were wise to realize the value of this commodity and sought ownership of water rights in the surrounding tributaries and from local water companies and water right owners.
