The GMA Water Distribution System consists of a complex network of seven ground water wells, one Water Treatment Facility,
and several miles of distribution mains, ranging from 4" through 16" in diameter. The system serves approximately
11,600 customers, with 3,560 service connections not including Fire Service connections. The system produces an average
of 1,368,000 gallons of water on a daily basis. About 85% of the daily usage or 1,163,000 gallons per day is produced by
the Marsh Creek Water Filtration Plant. The remaining 15% is produced by the seven ground water wells.
