Water
The Water Department manages the maintenance and repair of the water production, transfer, and distribution facilities.
Why is water so important?
Our bodies don’t work without it. Our crops don’t grow. Our gardens don’t bloom. Our fish don’t swim. Our pets don’t thrive. Our industries and communities can’t grow and expand. In fact, just about everything we do in our daily lives -- directly or indirectly-- depends upon water.
The earth is largely covered by water. But the truth is; only about 2% of that water is drinkable. With a constantly growing population, that small amount of water is being shared by more and more people. In addition to the water used for human consumption, our water resources are also used for, irrigation, agriculture, manufacturing, and power generation.
We cannot afford to take our precious water supplies for granted. Water -- quantity and quality -- is quickly becoming a global issue. That’s why we have to learn to be better stewards of this finite resource and learn to make informed decisions about how we use it.

Water Well Drilling
On January 10, 2011 the Celina City Council approved the adoption of an ordinance setting forth guidelines for private well drilling in Celina. The ordinance insures that best practices are utilized during construction and that minimum standards for well construction are met. This ordinance requires that wells are properly constructed in a way that reduces the contamination risk to the aquifer (underground water bearing formation) and the risk of cross connections between the well and the potable water system.
