300,000-gallon Reservoir Recoating

Project Description:
The project will include painting the welded steel reservoir interior and exterior surfaces. The reservoir will be drained and sandblasted to remove compromised coatings and rust. The reservoir will be coated with industry standard coatings and the cathodic protection system will be upgraded. 

Project Justification:
The welded steel reservoir was constructed in 2001 with an inspection completed in approximately 2018. The inspection revealed coatings failure and rusting. Recoating of the welded steel reservoir and upgrading the cathodic protection system is needed to prolong the City’s investments and are common practice considering the age of the reservoir.
