Project Description
The City has thirteen (13) water tanks/reservoirs that must be maintained in accordance with American Water
Works Association (AWWA) standards. A typical re-coating includes the removal of the old coating, application
of a new internal epoxy coating, corrosion-resistant paint on the exterior surface and structural repairs and
required upgrades.
In FY 21/22, the El Toro Tank rehabilitation will be finished, and repairs and stabilization to the access road (due to
it being adjacent to the hillside) will be completed.
Project Justification
The ongoing re-coating project is required for compliance with the City's Water System Operating permit issued
by the Department of Public Health. Each re-coating typically lasts for 15-25 years depending on the tank location
and other environmental factors.
