Water Department

The Princeton Public Water Supply includes quality and quantity plus treatment and distribution.

The City of Princeton is located at the intersection of three ancient bedrock valley systems. The ancient Mississippi, Paw Paw (Troy), and Rock Valley's make up these systems. This aquifer is virtually untapped and provides a precious resource for this community.

The last 10 years has see a complete update of equipment and process culminating with the construction of a 1.5 million gallon water tower in 2005. Currently, the City of Princeton Water Department maintains 58 miles of watermain.
