Orofino has a surface water source from the Clearwater River which is gravity fed into a new water treatment plant constructed in 2014. The plant consists of a membrane filtering system, one of only three in the State of Idaho with water rights of 2.3 million gallons per day. The capacity of the plant has plenty of room for business and small industrial growth. The city has five water reservoirs with a storage capacity of 2.3 million gallons.
