Denmark Water Utility: Straight From the Tap
On behalf of the Denmark Water Utility, welcome to the Utility's Website, designed to keep you - our customers - informed! The Utility faces the duty and challenge of making our water pure and safe while delivering it to our customers at the most economical price.
Where Does Our Water Come From?
The Village of Denmark began providing public water service in 1917. The first well was constructed in 1917 and abandoned in 1981. Well 2 was constructed in 1937 and Well 3 was constructed in 1975.
The Village of Denmark is supplied by groundwater pumped from the Niagara Aquifer by the two wells located in the Village.
Both wells incorporate gravity flow iron filters to reduce the amount of iron and manganese in the water. Chemicals added to the system are chlorine for disinfection, and a polyphosphate to meet lead and copper regulations. An average of 300,000 gallons of water per day is pumped to 800 customers. Water is stored in a 100,000 gallon reservoir and a 200,000 gallon water tower.
