Water & Sewer Department

The City of Clifton Water System dates back to the 1950's when service was first provided to city residents. In 1984 a new plant was constructed to keep up with growth. In the year 2000 a new project to add an additional 322,500 gallons per day of treatment capacity was established.

The Water Plant also tests turbidity, Ph, bacteria, hardness, and alkalinity on a daily basis. These tests have been instituted to help in providing the city with high quality drinking water.

The City of Clifton began to offer sewer services to the public in the 1980's. The City currently operates two sewer plants to serve the area. Several expansions throughout the years now offers sewer service to most of the City.
