River Ridge Water System
River Ridge Water System
In industrial development, water isn’t just a utility, it’s a performance variable. At River Ridge, it’s one you don’t have to worry about.
River Ridge has its own water system. That means faster approvals, scalable capacity, and service built for the demands of manufacturers, processors, and high-usage operations. With direct oversight and a single point of contact, utility planning becomes one of the easiest parts of your project.
Most sites rely on off-site municipal systems with limited input, long lead times, and layers of approval. River Ridge simplifies that entire process. Our in-park water system is engineered for industrial-scale performance and managed by the same team that guides your development.
You don’t get passed off. You get results.
- Current water system capacity: 6 million gallons per day
- Treatment and Supply expansion underway to add 6.0 million gallons per day capacity
- Infrastructure engineered for washdown, process water, and system redundancy
- Expansion capability for large-scale users or phased growth plans
- Repairs, maintenance and monitoring performed locally with rapid response capabilities
Whether you’re building a 50,000-square-foot food production facility or a 500,000-square-foot distribution center, the water system here is built to scale with you.
Because the system is operated by RRDA, permitting and service planning are streamlined. Site selectors and engineers don’t have to navigate multiple agencies or wait for city infrastructure to catch up. Water plans are reviewed quickly, coordinated directly, and aligned with your construction timeline.
This is a rare development advantage, and one that saves time, money, and uncertainty.
From pipe size to flow rates, the system was built to handle industrial demands. That includes:
- Consistent pressure
- High-volume capacities
- Process compatibility with industrial workflows
Operations that depend on water for production, cleaning, cooling, or compliance can rely on a system that was designed for exactly those needs.

Utilities That Work Like You Do
River Ridge isn’t waiting on infrastructure to catch up. The system is already in place, already permitted, and already supporting major employers on-site. It’s one more way we keep projects moving and operations running smoothly.

Oversight That Puts You First
With the water system under local control, the people overseeing it are the same people helping you succeed. That alignment means more transparency, more responsiveness, and fewer surprises as your project moves from design to operation.
