Water Conservancy District- Quail Creek Quail Creek Water Treatment Plant is an integral component of the district’s water system. The plant is capable of treating 60 million gallons of water per day — providing a safe, reliable water supply for Washington County’s growing population and economy. The plant receives water from three sources: Quail Creek Reservoir, Sand Hollow Reservoir and the Virgin River. The water enters the facility through 60-inch pipelines capable of pumping 1,000 gallons per second and travels through numerous filters, purification elements and disinfectants during a four-hour treatment process. Certified lab technicians test water quality multiple times daily to ensure it meets or exceeds federally-regulated safe drinking water standards.
