The City is constructing a new 106-foot diameter, 2.5-million-gallon ground level welded steel potable water storage reservoir on Tukes Mountain. The project will replace aging infrastructure, address seismic concerns, and expand the City's water storage capacity by 1.5 million gallons, placing the City well in advance of anticipated water storage needs
Construction includes, but is not limited to, demolition and removal of three existing concrete reservoirs, site clearing and excavation including rock blasting and removal, on site water pipeline improvements, updated electrical and controls, and additional site improvements including newly paved access road, retaining walls and stormwater facilities.
