The Water/Wastewater Services Department maintains
the water distribution system. The 230
miles of water main are located mostly within the City of Holland with some
sections of Park, Laketown, and Holland townships included. The majority of the water main is 6 inch, 8
inch, and 12 inch in diameter with some as large as 36 inches in diameter. There are roughly 13,000 service connections
off the water distribution system and over 2,200 fire hydrants to maintain. There are 4 water storage tanks and 5 pump
stations pumping to 5 pressure zones within the system.

Many homes in our service area were built with Polybutylene water services. Although this pipe material is still approved
by the Michigan Plumbing Code, we would recommend replacing these services due
to the numerous problems we have seen with this pipe material. For more information on Polybutylene
water service material, please refer to this informative web page.
