City of Wheeling Water Department
The City has been operating a water pumping and distribution system for over 170 years, which gives the City the title of the Oldest Water System West of th e Allegheny Mountains. The initial system consisted of a pumping station located near 8th Street and grew into the existing Water Treatment Plant, located in Warwood, which went into operation in 1924. Upgrades were made to the plant and system in 1964 and 1992. A brand new $30 million Water Treatment Facility was brought on-line in July 2015. It houses new EVOQUA Ultra Filtration Membrane Units that provide ultra clean water for our customers. This new facility provides high quality water up to 12 MGD and can be expanded for future needs . The Water Division is operated and managed through the following three sections:
