The Cassadaga aquifer has a watershed area of 140 square miles. Water is pumped from seven wells and collected in a receiving well at the Cassadaga well field. Just enough chlorine and fluoride are added before the water is pumped to the Buffalo Street Pump Station.

Each well head and its equipment is enclosed in a small building such as this one.

Two 200 horsepower pumps at the Cassadaga Pump Station propel the water to the Buffalo Street Pump Station, on the first leg of its journey to utility customers.
