Our Mission
To purify, store and deliver the required amount of drinking water from Lake Ontario to meet the demands of residential, commercial, institutional and industrial consumers in Onondaga County, the City of Syracuse and Central New York. The Onondaga County Water District, which is administered by the Metropolitan Water Board, serves the role of supplementing the area’s primary upland water sources of Skaneateles and Otisco Lakes, which have limited capacities. The Lake Ontario system has the capacity to produce up to 50 million gallons/day and store in excess of 110 million gallons of water for emergencies, including fire protection and periods of drought.
The County Water District also provides the community with a means to finance large water system improvements through an ad valorem assessment on real property (when this method is needed).
