Water Department
The District currently provides water service for approximately 3,100
connections (7,500 customers) in parts of Randolph, Montgomery, and Davidson
counties. The distribution system includes four water tanks, and over 160
miles of lines. Handy’s water is purchased primarily from the Town of Denton
and the source is the Tuckertown Reservoir on the Yadkin River. (The
District also has an interconnection with Davidson Water which can be used
as a back-up source or in the event of an emergency.)

preparing required reports, and developing and implementing various mandated
programs. In addition to repair and replacement of existing water lines,
meters, valves, and hydrants, this department is also responsible for
completing monthly meter readings, as well as installing new service taps,
and some line extensions.
