The projects that make up our Water Reliability Plan will provide our customers with a more resilient and redundant water system for generations to come.

We've completed lining and cover work at our covered Highland Reservoir, the restoration of two large-diameter water mains, and the construction of a large supply main in Highland Park. Earlier this year, we started constructing the new Highland Reservoir Pump Station – our first new building in 20 years.

Still to come is the major rehabilitation of the Aspinwall Pump Station, the replacement of the Bruecken Pump Station, the construction of a bypass around the existing Clearwell, and the centerpiece of the entire plan: the complete restoration of the Clearwell. This estimated $57 million project will replace the century-old, 44-million-gallon drinking water disinfection and storage tank at the Water Treatment Plant.

The Clearwell, originally constructed in 1912, was an engineering marvel in its time. Once replaced, the new Clearwell will be equally remarkable, incorporating redundancy and operational efficiency to ensure secure and reliable water services for the next century.
