Pawnee County RWD #2 is a rural water district, run from Pawnee City in Pawnee County. It supplies about 40 people through 4 service connections. Rural water districts do for water what the public power districts do for electricity: they pipe it to the farms, acreages and small settlements that sit outside any town’s own system. Nebraska has only about thirty of them, so in much of the state a rural household is still on a private well. Population and connection counts come from the federal drinking water system inventory. The town shown is the district office, not the limit of the area it serves.
