Project Purpose

Implement recommendations of 2012 Class EA Study.

Replace aging drinking water reservoir at Payette

Drive.

3

Existing Drinking Water System

Payette DWS:

3 groundwater supply wells

3 water reservoirs (1 on-site, 2 off-site)

1 pump house

4 pressure zones

Water Storage:

Payette Drive Reservoir

Robert Street West Reservoir

Centennial Drive Elevated Tank

Above-grade, earth berm around it

1,100 m³ capacity

Payette Drive Reservoir

Constructed in 1931 (83 yrs old)

Partially above-grade

1,100 m³ capacity

Robert Street West Reservoir

Constructed in 1993 (21 yrs old)

Entirely above-grade/elevated

5,000 m³ capacity

Centennial Drive Elevated Tank

2012 Class EA Study

Payette Drive and Robert Street West reservoirs

approaching end of life.

Need to be replaced to prevent failure and loss of

service.

Preferred solution is to construct new reservoir at

Payette Drive site.

Then decommission Payette Drive and Robert Street

West reservoirs.

Preliminary Design of Upgrades

Existing Payette Drive reservoir is 15.5 m diameter

and 6.5 m high.

Cast-in-place concrete, above-grade and bermed

with earth all around.

No redundancy. Difficult to service without taking

off-line, causing service interruptions.

New Payette reservoir capacity: 2,200 m³

(combined capacity of existing Payette Drive and

Robert Street West reservoirs).

10

Preliminary Design of Upgrades

Two above-grade reservoirs, each 12.8 m diameter

and 8.5 m high, 1,100 m³ capacity (2,200 m³

total).

Proposed location is generally behind existing

reservoir berm.

Also replacing existing 104 year old supply water

main from existing reservoir to Church Street. Has

reached end of life. Needs to be replaced to

prevent failure and loss of service.

Benefits of Proposed Reservoirs

Glass-coated steel construction. Requires very little

exterior maintenance.

Not bermed around. Easier access for inspection,

maintenance and repair.

Two reservoirs allows one to remain in service if

other is off-line, providing uninterrupted water

supply.

2 m of additional height improves operating

pressure in lower zones.

19

Benefits of Proposed Reservoirs

Reduces overall operating costs.

Optimized site layout: less excavation and piping,

few changes to green and open spaces.

Limited and short-term interruptions to water supply.

20

Schedule

Complete design and obtain approvals in 2014.

Construction scheduled for 2015.
