Deane Zone Tank Expansion Project

Project Overview

SCV Water will construct a new 1.75-million-gallon potable water tank just south of the two existing 1-million-gallon tanks at the existing Deane Zone Tanks site, located northeast of the Sunset Heights Community and approximately 900 feet west of the intersection of Winterdale Drive and Nearview Drive.

The new tank is estimated to be 32 feet high and 100 feet wide. The top of the new tank will be set at the same elevation as the top of the existing tanks. The existing site will also require grading, retaining walls, new underground water, storm drainage and electrical piping, and access road improvements for adequate vehicular access to the site.

Community Benefits

SCV Water works hard to effectively manage water availability and distribution for our customers, ensuring there is adequate water stored in our reservoirs for firefighting, emergency backup, and to meet daily customer water needs. This includes the long-term maintenance, capital improvements, and new reservoir expansion required to provide adequate water storage within each of our service areas.

The new tank will expand water storage at the Deane Tank site that is currently providing water to your community. The new tank will also include storage for future development within the Deane Zone that will add to the storage demands of the Deane Pressure Zone distribution system.

Project Schedule

The anticipated project schedule is as follows:

DATES: November 1, 2023 – December 31, 2024
TIMES:
Monday – Friday 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., if needed

What to Expect During Construction

There will not be any closures, but there will be large construction trucks driving up and down the streets to access the road leading up to the tank site.

The large construction trucks may need a couple of minutes to turn into and/or out of the access road, which may be an inconvenience to those located in the neighborhood north of Nearview Drive.
