Meadowlark Reservoir Storage Capacity Project

Meadowlark Reservoir Storage Capacity Project

A project at Meadowlark Reservoir, which is owned and operated by the Vallecitos Water District, is proposed to increase water storage capacity at the reservoir. The tank which will be removed was built in 1962 and the new tanks are proposed to add capacity needed to meet the future demand as outlined in the 2002 approved Master Plan. The project proposes phased improvements that include: 1) near-term construction of a new 2.8 MG capacity tank (Tank No. 3) west of existing Tank No. 1; 2) demolition of the existing 1.25 MG capacity Tank No. 1; 3) refurbishment of the existing 2.75 MG capacity Tank No. 2 (after 2007); and 4) future construction of a new 2.8 MG capacity tank (Tank No. 4) as needed.
