The District has completed a comprehensive, multi-year water tank inspection program and received an engineering report identifying and prioritizing tank rehabilitation projects. Many of the projects present significant challenges where there is no redundant storage capacity, limiting projects to certain times of year when demand for water is low, and requiring alternate methods for water distribution.
The District has pre-qualified a list of three contractors to provide bids as the reservoir/plant to be rehabilitated in the upcoming year has been identified. In October 2019 the District awarded a contract to Crosno Construction for the rehabilitation of Tank 39-1; that project was completed in May 2020. In FY 2020- 21, the District entered into a contract for rehabilitation of the tank at Plant 108, a 2 million gallon reservoir serving the District’s Foothill zone. This year’s project is a 0.5 million gallon reservoir at District Plant 56. A contractor will be selected to execute the necessary rehabilitations to extend the reservoir’s useful service life.
