Project need and background

Maintaining water reliability is mission critical. When we think of water reliability, it’s ensuring that when customers turn the tap, clean, high-quality and uninterrupted drinking water supplies are there. To support that idea, your Roseville Utilities is working to make sure that there is necessary infrastructure on the back end to support operational needs, increased demands as our community grows smartly, and provide flexibility to mWest side Tank project locationove and store water at different points in our City.

This is where the Westside Tank and Pump station project comes in. As growth continues in the western portion of the City, Environmental Utilities is fulfilling its goal of providing reliable utility services by initiating this water infrastructure project. Roseville’s water distribution system is mainly gravity fed and as development occurs in the west, we build infrastructure to maintain adequate water pressure for residences, commercial properties and for fire protection.

We began planning for this facility back in 2005. However, before we began construction, we decided to put the project on hold given the changes in economic conditions. Fast-forward to 2016, we resumed planning the project given positive economic activity, including continued growth in both the residential and commercial sectors.

Project location, benefits, and infrastructure

The project is located on five-acres adjacent to the Pleasant Grove Wastewater Treatment Plant at 5051 Westpark Drive and will include:

  • Construction of two separate 6-million gallon concrete potable water storage reservoirs. These tanks will serve our potable water distribution facilities and provide operational flexibility to support increased demand.

  • A Booster Pump Station Building and equipment that will allow water to be distributed within the City’s pressure zone four.
