The Hydro-pneumatic tank and booster pumps at Plant 101 increase water pressure to 37 homes that are situated at elevations too high to be gravity fed by the plant’s 1.4-million-gallon reservoir; the Hydro tank is the only means of serving these customers with sufficient water pressure. An inspection of Plant 101 revealed that the Hydro Tank and booster pumps need to be replaced, but those tasks were deferred until an on-site emergency generator could be installed.
With the generator now in place, and design for the tank and boosters complete, replacement of the tank and boosters can be scheduled. Project was out for bid during FY 2023-24 and staff proposes to complete these replacements during FY 2024-25.
