About Food Processors Water Co-Op
Food Processors Water Cooperative, Inc. (FPWC) operates a public water supply in Timberville, Virginia, drawing from the North Fork of the Shenandoah River. Founded in 1946, the cooperative is owned by two major protein processors, Pilgrim's Pride Corporation and Cargill Meat Solutions. It began with four customers, one employee, 300,000 gallons of storage, 4,428 feet of distribution lines, and a plant rated for 500,000 gallons per day. Today the facility employs the Roberts Filter Manhattan Process, a high-rate filtration method, across four mixed media filters that produce finished water at 1,360 gallons per minute. Treatment capacity stands at 2,000,000 gallons per day, supported by three storage tanks holding 3,300,000 gallons total. An underground distribution network of 13,239 feet serves 28 bulk-use customers, with annual sales approaching 500 million gallons. The plant runs with seven employees and certified operators who manage disinfection, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration, backed by on-site laboratory testing. Primary customers include the two owner companies — both large-scale food manufacturers — as well as the Towns of Broadway and Timberville and other area businesses and residents. The cooperative's output supports food processing operations and municipal supply across the Broadway-Timberville region. FPWC is noted as the second oldest high-rate treatment plant in Virginia. It has earned multiple Excellence in Operations awards from the Virginia Department of Health, Office of Water Programs, recognizing cross-connection control, financial management, water quality process control, distribution system management, and plant staffing and training.
