Tank 3 improvements

Tank 3, on the butte south of Fifth Street, is a water storage tank built in 1969. The overflow discharge line was designed to flow on the southwest side of the tank. The discharge is currently flowing toward Tacker Court, and is affecting newly built residential homes in this area. Castle Rock Water is planning improvements to the tank to manage the overflow and grading.

Benefits of this project include:

• Construction of a new gravity storm sewer will direct the flows towards the northeast side of the butte and not impact local properties.  
• A new tank by-pass pressure main will allow the residents located along Reservoir Road to have a looped water distribution system when the tank is off-line for maintenance. 
• The new main includes a new pressure relief valve to protect the system from overpressure events during tank maintenance.
