Project Need:  The District’s existing Hatch Reservoir has insufficient storage volume to support peak hour demands and fire flow while maintaining adequate system pressure.

Project Description:  The District plans to construct a new 1 million gallon elevated storage tank east of Hatch Road and north of Bidwell Park.

Expected Outcomes:  Improved water service reliability and fire flow in the service area generally located north of Midway on either side of Hatch Road.

Current Status:  This project is in the design phase. The District has secured construction loan funding for construction in the 2027 – 2029 timeframe.

Anticipated Schedule:  Design is ongoing, with anticipated design completion in late 2026. Construction is anticipated to last between 8 and 15 months. Construction start dates are not yet known.
