Dublin storage tank completed; county says 1,000,000-gallon tank boosts fire flow and resiliency
Summary
Public works director Jared Carter updated supervisors that the Dublin Well Site storage tank and booster pump project added about 1,000,000 gallons of storage to the MD10A system, improving fire flow and helping the system remain online while a Berkshire well was repaired.
Jared Carter, Director of Public Works, briefed the board on the Madera Ranchos Dublin storage tank and booster pump project, which he described as phase two of site development and the completion of a planned storage tank.
"That equips the MD10A system with 1,000,000 gallons of water storage for both fire flow and also to help with higher-demand times," Carter said, and added the tank helped maintain system supply while the Berkshire well was brought back online. He said the state inspection two weeks earlier was pleased with the final product.
Supervisor discussion focused on how the tank improves fire flows and the role of stored water in rapid-response firefighting. Carter summarized that storage provides a reserve that fire apparatus can draw from quickly during an incident. The board thanked public works for completing the work.
Ending: The consent calendar including the related projects passed on a single motion and the board recorded the completion update; no separate allocation or amendment was made at the meeting.
