Securing Foundations for our Future
Providing a dependable water supply is more than just having water ready at your tap. Diablo Water District works to ensure our water system is adequately sized, maintained, and improved to meet water demands for today and the future through investments in our infrastructure. These investments are critical to securing our future water supply resiliency.
Last year we shared that the District identified retrofit work needed to reinforce our water reservoirs in case of an earthquake. Work has begun on this $3m multi-year project to reinforce the foundation and then add steel banding around the reservoir tank, as well as recoat it. This construction will not only reinforce the tank against seismic activity, but increase the capacity for more water storage as this retrofit will improve the amount of weight-bearing load the foundation can handle.
As we move forward with this and future projects, the District remains focused on long-term water solutions and maintaining integrity with our rate payer’s funds to continue our mission of leadership in our industry. We will continue to invest our rate payer’s dollars so that they may realize the benefits of investments in more resilient and reliable water supplies.
