Document Description
The El Dorado Irrigation District (District) is proposing to rehabilitate three welded-steel drinking water storage tanks. The welded steel roofs will be replaced with aluminum dome covers at Reservoirs 4 and 7A. The interior and exterior painted surfaces at Reservoirs 4 and 7A as well as the exterior surface of Reservoir 7B, will be removed using abrasive blasting equipment and recoated. New cathodic protection systems will be installed on all three tanks. Replacement of the welded steel roofs with aluminum dome covers will extend the useable lifecycles of the steel tanks and help to maintain safe and reliable service. Rehabilitation of the tanks is necessary because maintenance of treated water storage for potable water supply reliability is required in accordance with California Department of Public Health regulations. The exterior walls will be recoated using earth tone colors to blend into the surrounding landscape and the new aluminum dome covers will have a matte finish. Project activities will not require ground disturbance activities or necessitate the removal of trees. Work activities will primarily be implemented during the normal business hours of 7 am to 5 pm. Work is anticipated to begin in spring of 2025 and occur at one reservoir site at a time for a duration of approximately 2-years to complete all three tanks. Bypass or alternation of the tanks will be implemented during construction, therefore no service impacts to District customers will occur. Construction equipment expected to be used during project activities include: cranes, boom forklifts, bucket/scissor lifts, abrasive blast trailers and compressors, dehumidifiers, portable generators, paint supply containment, refuse containers, safety equipment, and personnel vehicles. All activities would occur within the existing developed and fenced reservoir locations on District property. Best management practices will be employed as necessary during and after construction and all construction debris removed from the project site will follow all applicable regulatory requirements for disposal.
