Strategic Goal #9
Water Tanks
Issue
The District has six steel water tanks. They are inspected every 3-5 years and minor repairs are programmed in subsequent budgets. Tanks usually require rehabilitation every 20-30 years. Rehabilitation is defined as complete sandblasting and recoating of the interior and exterior of the tank, and repair or replacement of structural components and appurtenances.

Goal
Systematically inspect, repair, and rehabilitate steel water tanks to ensure their serviceability and longevity.
Strategy
1. Do not perform any major work on Tank #2 because it is planned for removal.
2. Do not perform any work on Tank #4 until its future is certain.
3. Inspect tanks every 3-5 years. Perform minor maintenance and repairs.
4. Plan to accomplish a rehabilitation project on each tank every 20 years.
