Chantilly Farm has an excellent well that produces more than 100 gallons of water per minute (GPM). The water taste like spring water and requires no chemical additives to maintain our "Public Water System" from the state health department. The well is licensed to supply up to 39,000 gallons per day and our normal monthly use is less the 40,000 gallons. The well will be able to supply any future water needs for the farm.  The farm water system at this time is able to supply up to 35 GPM at 60 lbs pressure. This is a lot of water and we have never had a low pressure or lack of water on the farm at any of our events.  The well operating as a public water system requires official testing every 3 months for bacteria and once per year a few additional test. A monthly usage report is sent into the state licensing agency.

The water system does not require a storage tank at this time because of the well capacity of 100gpm. The pressure pump system can supply up to 35 gpm at no less then 55 pounds pressure. We have never noticed a lack of water or pressure. The barn and both bath houses do have a small pressure tank so that when any usage in the building would not effect the water pressure around the farm.

The water infrastructure of the farm includes 1.1 miles of underground water mains. All the buildings are supplied with water, the 25 RV camp sites, and 21 potable water hydrants throughout the farm. The underground main water lines are separated into a number of areas and each section can be turned off for repair and maintenance with out effecting water to the  other parts of the farm. Each building also has an individual water cutoff valve.

The farm has good spring water and 3000 gallons is stored in an underground facility. The stored spring water is available though a large cap on top of the tank and also a pipe coming out of the storage tank. This water is for agricultural  purposes and is not potable. The access thought the top of tank makes all 3000 gallons available for water tanker trucks to use for watering the roads for dust control and fire engine water tankers.  The storage is at an elevation that would allow gravity feed to about 30 acres of the front part of the farm.
