3 Washington County, Oregon Project History: Steel water tanks built in 1952 and 1962. These tanks were not designed for seismic events. District initially planned a seismic retrofit project, but costs would have been comparable to replacement. Additional storage was needed in Metzger, so a larger replacement tank was designed. Neighborhood opposition delayed the project, but construction started in summer 2013.

4 Washington County, Oregon Reservoir information: 1.75 million gallon pre-stressed concrete reservoir designed to current seismic codes. New water lines and valves on-site. Automatic control capabilities to isolate tank. Ability to distribute tank water to fire apparatus or emergency distribution station. Landscaping and tank painting as compromise with neighbors.
