Since 2023, we have operated temporary above-ground pipelines to continue delivering water in the area, which is not a sustainable long-term solution.
With the addition of proposed water tank storage, we will improve drainage in the area by building a new stormwater detention pond. Additionally, trees, shrubs and grasses will be planted to reduce the infrastructure’s visual prominence and help blend it into the surrounding landscape.
This project ensures safer, reliable water service for decades to come.
Improves safety: The project would replace an aging dam with modern infrastructure.
Lower maintenance costs: Tank infrastructure is less costly to operate and maintain over time as compared to a dam/reservoir.
Optimizes water storage: Maximizes water storage capacity and prevents water loss from evaporation.
Ensures reliability: A multi-tank system can provide continuous water service when one tank is down for maintenance.
We are currently reviewing the project design and timeline to ensure community input is thoroughly considered and to identify the best path forward for the project. Because this review is ongoing, previously shared project information is subject to change.
We appreciate the time and feedback provided by community members throughout this process.
We are committed to working with the community throughout this process.
Opportunities include:
Public input will help shape decisions, and we will share how feedback influences the project.
