Document Description
The U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering authorizing the expenditure of funds awarded to the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (CSBMWD). The project generally consists of constructing a 4 million gallon (MG) water storage reservoir on the existing SBMWD 4.29-acre Palm Plant site. The site contains an existing 5.0 MG and a 325,000 gallon above grade water storage reservoirs, hydro-generation station, which produces electricity from the energy in water delivered to the site from higher elevations, and other water supply equipment. The Palm Reservoir provides the floating storage of water necessary to supply water to the CSBMWD's 1720 College-Palm Pressure Zone. Presently, the College-Palm Pressure Zone has about a 3.2 MG water storage deficiency necessary to protect health and safety of the general public for portable domestic use, emergency and fire flow purposes. Furthermore, the storage deficiency results in more frequent pumps and motors operation cycles during peak electricity usage periods to maintain an adequate supply of water to the system and its customers. This project is being proposed by CSBMWD to correct this deficiency and provide more reliable, efficient, and cost effective water system that is consistent with industry standards for water storage capacity.
