Specification No. 90450.

DISCUSSION
The Highland Water Tank is located at 12 Highland Drive, a City-owned property near the top of
Highland Drive. The tank is approximately 50 years old and is in poor condition. As residential
development progressed in the northern portion of the City and the water system expanded and
included the construction of the Ferrini Water Tank and the Rosemont Tank, the Highland Water
Tank is no longer a necessary component of the City's water distribution system.
In the mid 1990's, the Rosemont Tank was constructed approximately 1500 feet northwest of the
Highland Tank along with two small pumps located adjacent to the Highland Tank, which
deliver water to the Rosemont Tank. The existing pumps are undersized, are not housed in a
secured building, and provide only minimal flows into the zone served by the Rosemont Tank.
In the event of a fire, the existing pumps would limit the delivery of water to fire hydrants in the
upper Highland Drive area.
This project includes two phases. The first phase of this project is the abandonment and
demolition of the existing Highland Tank. This will remove the aged water tank from the City's
water distribution system and eliminate potential problems associated with keeping the existing
tank in service. The second phase of this project is the construction of a building— a municipal
pump station which will increase the flow into the zone served by the Rosemont Water Tank.
This new pump station will be constructed on the property currently occupied by the Highland
Water Tank.
In June 2008, the City Manager awarded a contract to Boyle Engineering for the design of the
new Rosemont Pump Station. The design is now complete with the project ready for public
bidding.
