Water & Sewer

The City of Red Lodge’s water system consists of storage reservoirs, water distribution and transmission mains, and a water treatment plant (WTP) located on the West Fork of Rock Creek. The City currently obtains all its water from three wells. These sources provide Red Lodge with ownership rights to 4,625 acre-feet of water per year or a peak flow of 4,501 gpm. The Public Works Department operates and maintains the City’s water system to provide Red Lodge residents with reliable and safe water. The Public Works Department performs such tasks as reading meters manually each month, sampling and testing, reporting, repairing water breaks, operating valves and hydrants, planning, and providing oversight and coordination on construction projects
