Project Description

The B Reservoir receives drinking water directly from the district’s treatment plant; water is then distributed throughout the district. This reservoir was damaged during the 2018 Camp Fire and is not currently in use. The reservoir’s level fluctuated with customer usage needs; its capacity was 3 million gallons.

The District is currently working throught the FEMA process to replace the damaged reservoir with concrete or steel tank(s). Delivery pipeline improvements as well us upgrading the hydraulic system would increase efficiency of water delivery.

The planning process included a comprehensive study of storage capacities within the District. The project design includes significant hydraulic and pipeline work to ensure more water is available for fighting fires.

PID's board considered these alternatives:

Option 1—Replacing the B Reservoir cover and liner only.
Option 2—Replace the reservoir with two steel tanks, increasing storage capacity and capacity for fire flow demand. Additional improvements include revamping system hydraulics and building a pump station for a new pipeline from the treatment plant to the distribution system.
Option 3— Replace the reservoir with a concrete tank,increasing storage capacity and capacity for fire flow demand. Additional improvements include revamping system hydraulics and building a pump station for a new pipeline from the treatment plant to the distribution system.

PID’s board voted to pursue Option 2 (saving funds on project development) and authorizing the project design.

 

Benefits to PID and its Customers

Increased water capacity, better water flow during fire emergencies, less vulnerability to security and water contamination issues.
