About Water Quality

It looks like a lake, but it isn’t

Sometimes people think of the Levine Reservoir as a lake or pond nestled in a natural setting, but the truth is there’s nothing natural about the Levine Reservoir. It was built in 1885 by blasting the rock out.

Then pipes were installed to carry the water form the treatment plant to the reservoir. In fact, if the pipes were closed, the water would become stagnant and ultimately dry up.
