Investing in our Infrastructure: New 2.0 Million Gallon Storage Tank Online 💧

We are pleased to announce the completion and activation of our new prestressed concrete ground storage tank. This 2-million-gallon facility is a vital addition to our infrastructure, ensuring greater system reliability for our customers.

Strategic Benefits of the Project:

Enhanced Capacity: Provides the necessary storage to meet the current and future demands of our growing community.

Enabling Future Expansion: This new capacity allows us to decommission the older ground storage tank, which is a necessary step to clear the site for our upcoming 3 MGPD plant expansion over the next few years.

Recognizing the Project Team:
Delivering a project of this scale requires expert coordination and high-quality workmanship. We would like to recognize the partners who were instrumental in this success:

Engineer: Domingue, Szabo, and Associates for their professional design and technical guidance.

Contractor: NCMC, LLC for their excellence in the construction and ex*****on of the project.

By investing in these improvements today, we are ensuring a more resilient water system for tomorrow. Check out the photos below for a look at the new facility.
