Fuller Lane Water Storage Tank

Update 5/10/2024: The Fuller Lane Water Tower was offline for cleaning and inspection of the tank. During this time the pumps were able to maintain water pressure while the tank was empty. As the tank fills water pressure will be reduced. We anticipate the work to be complete by Monday, May 13th. The Exeter Water Department appreciates your patience and understanding. 

Fuller Lane Tank Information:

The Fuller Lane Water Storage Tank, also known as the Hampton Road Tank, is a vital part of Exeter's water storage and distribution system. This water system is primarily used for the Town's drinking and fire prevention supply. The Fuller Lane Water Storage Tank is 85 feet high and 46 feet in diameter. The tank has a capacity of over a million gallons of water and is capable of fluctuating up to 10 feet per day.

The tank's shut off valve triggers when the water inside reaches an elevation level of 202 feet to prevent overflow. This value was recently improved to control its speed. The improvements greatly reduced the stress the shut-off value placed on the water system.
