The original Clearwell being built in 1906
About this Project
The Clearwell is a 44-million gallon basin that plays a key role in the water treatment process. As a last step of treatment, water enters the Clearwell to be treated with chlorine, killing any bacteria or pathogens that may be in the water. This component of the system is reaching the end of its useful life and must be replaced. The suite of Water Reliability Plan projects will lay the necessary groundwork to take the Clearwell offline. Reservoirs throughout the system will act as temporary clearwells while it is replaced.
This project will replace the Clearwell structure with a new one, complete with bypasses and other modern fixtures to ensure reliable water service for the future.
