A new, 1-million gallon tank is estimated to cost $1.8 million, but depending upon how it’s connected, that cost could hit $2.6 million. The Cal Water proposal was inadequate, a report said, because it didn’t provide adequate storage and it was too expensive. The board considered a proposal from the California Water Service Company (Cal Water) to connect into its existing storage, but it would have required a costly new pipeline. According to Mark Capron, TSD senior engineer, the old tank cannot be seismically upgraded, despite surviving the 1994 Northridge earthquake. It must be replaced because it’s too small and the site is unstable.
The surplus water tanks are cheaper than other storage options, but they might not be available because another buyer may have already bought them.Īn existing water tank with a capacity of 1 million gallons is located on Conifer Street in Oak Park. To save money, Triunfo Sanitation District (TSD), which owns Oak Park Water Service, might buy surplus water tanks from the city of Santa Barbara.
