BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The existing Central Elevated Tank, located at 418 E 5th Avenue, was constructed in 1937. In 2021, Dixon Engineering performed a comprehensive inspection of the existing elevated water tank. The inspection report indicated that the existing tank is reaching the end of its useful life. Current estimated repair costs are over $1 million. In addition, the current location of the tank creates difficulties for future site development
After extensive evaluation, staff conducted a concept study for water tank relocations and recommended constructing a new elevated water tower adjacent to the existing one and subsequently decommissioning the existing structure.
In July 2024, the Water Utilities issued Bid 24-153, Central Elevated Tank. The work will include the construction of a new 0.5-million-gallon elevated water tank, installation of new watermain, sanitary drainage pipe, and stormwater sewer associated with the new elevated tank. In addition, work will include the installation of electrical controls, conduits, cables, a new fence around the proposed site, and installation of a retaining wall.
