Smith Road Tank

Smith Road Tank

The Proposed Project includes the construction and operation of a 43 foot-tall by approximately 125-foot-diameter above-ground steel water storage tank with a total storage capacity of approximately 3.5 million gallons. The tank would connect to the CCSB and CCNB pipelines located beneath Smith Road, directly south of the project site. The Proposed Project's objectives are to provide additional water storage capacity to meet the peak hourly demands in the Simi Valley Region during short-term imported water supply outage conditions; provide operational benefits during normal and high-demand conditions; provide a reserve of water that can be used during supply interruptions, such as maintenance work, power outages, or natural disasters; help maintain consistent water pressure throughout the distribution system; and in case of emergencies, such as fires, provide an immediate source of water for firefighting and other critical needs. The tank would be constructed on top of an elevated pad, which would be created with imported fill material to reach a ground elevation of approximately 1,096 feet above mean sea level (AMSL), or approximately 35 feet above the existing ground surface, allowing the tank to operate by gravity without pumping. The Proposed Project would also include the construction and maintenance of inlet and outlet pipelines, pipeline connections, overflow and drain pipes, above-ground isolation valves, a paved access road with a driveway off of Smith Road, retaining walls, and cabinet(s) housing instrumentation and control components. An approximately 700-foot-long Southern California Edison (SCE) service line would be required from the SCE connection location to the tank.
