Document Description
The Benson Reservoir Replacement and Improvements Project (project) entails constructing and operating a replacement reservoir for the existing Benson Reservoir within the City’s Benson Water Treatment Plant complex, connecting the replacement reservoir to the system, and demolishing the existing reservoir. The replacement reservoir would be a concrete cylindrical tank located in the northwestern corner of the site. The replacement reservoir is planned to have a capacity of 7.85 million gallons (MG), an increase in size from the existing 1.5 MG reservoir. The larger reservoir would expand the City’s water-storage capabilities and enhance the system’s operational flexibility.
