MULTIPLE WATERLINE INSTALLATIONS
- Construction scheduled to begin September 2021 – completion approximately June 2022.
- Multiple waterlines installed between the District office at 196th and Halsey to 202nd and Glisan and Oregon Street to Cascade Well #7.
- Replacement of the distribution mains in 202nd between Halsey and Glisan is in the Capitol Improvement Plan for fiscal year 26/27; however we decided to install it along with the transmission mains to consolidate impacts to the area and reduce costs by combining projects.
- A portion of a new transmission main will move water from our Cascade site to a reservoir for distribution into our system and provide a redundant path for water to travel to our facility to be treated and stored.
- A new transmission main will bring water from Cascade Well 7 to our facility for treatment and storage, expanding our groundwater capacity.
CASCADE WELL #7 (CW7) WELLHOUSE AND SITE IMPROVEMENTS
- Construction scheduled to begin August 2021 – completion approximately April 2022.
- A pump will be installed in the well
- Wellhouse will be built.
- Improvements will be made to the site to reflect the positive livability values of the neighborhood.
CASCADE RESERVOIR #1 (CR1) IMPROVEMENTS
- Construction scheduled to begin spring of 2022 – completion approximately May 2023
- CR1 was built in 1975 and has a 4 mg water capacity.
- Structural and seismic improvements will be made
- CR2 must be completed and online before we can take CR1 offline to make improvements.
