Winter Haven City operator Theresa outlines plant storage capacity and Fairfax facility

Theresa, a Class C water treatment operator with the City of Winter Haven Water Plant, spoke about the plant’s storage capacity and equipment at the Fairfax facility. She said the site includes a 600,000-gallon tank and a 400,000-gallon tank, for about 1,000,000 gallons of water available to serve Winter Haven City residents.

Theresa said the plant’s mission is to provide safe drinking water across the city and described the treatment machinery and other equipment she monitors at Fairfax. "We do have our 600,000 gallon tank," she said, adding that the additional 400,000-gallon tank brings the Fairfax facility’s total to roughly 1,000,000 gallons.

Theresa emphasized maintaining water quality for the city’s population and noted her role in operating and overseeing plant systems. The presentation did not specify funding sources, planned upgrades, or a timetable for changes to operations.
