• Clyde's first water works (1883-86) drew on what is now the town's community park pond, along with artesian wells — the whole system, including 18,215 feet of main and 38 hydrants, cost $33,092.95.
• The 2.4 MGD plant Clyde still uses exists because a Citizens Water Committee, on May 18, 1992, talked the city council out of a larger proposal and into hiring a new engineering firm to design a smaller, cheaper plant.
• A water tower was built at Woodland Avenue in 2001 in conjunction with the Whirlpool plant in Clyde.
• Before 1885 Clyde fought fires with cisterns built into the streets and filled by surface drainage.

• pre-1885Clyde had no reliable water supply; fire cisterns built at intervals in the streets and filled from surface drainage were depended on for fighting fires.
• 1883-86First public supply works developed, using what is now the community park pond, artesian wells, and 18,215 feet of main pipe with 38 fire hydrants. Total project cost $33,092.95.
• 1939Existing 250,000-gallon clearwell constructed between the pond and the water works drive.
• 1949-50Existing treatment plant and Raccoon Creek Reservoir constructed at a total project cost of $800,000.
• 1970-71Major water system improvements: Beaver Creek Reservoir, Beaver Creek pump house, raw water pipeline, Meadow Lane water tank, and rehabilitation of the treatment plant.
• 1973New fluoridation equipment installed.

How it is treated

The Clyde Water Treatment Plant (1041 South Main Street) is a 2.4 MGD surface water plant. The 2025 CCR states the plant receives surface water from the Beaver Creek watershed — about 56 square miles — through an intake on Beaver Creek, with storage in the city's Raccoon Creek and Beaver Creek…
