Authorization
REQUEST: Utility Department Requesting the City Commission Review the Proposed
Storage Tank Location west of Oak Forest for Reclaimed Water Augmentation
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is for the City Commission to approve the proposed
reclaimed water storage tank location on City property north of the Oak Forest spray
fields.
CONSIDERATIONS:
This agenda item is needed to approve the reclaimed water storage tank on City property
adjacent to the Oak Forest spray fields. The City Commission voted on January 26, 2009 to not
have the reclaimed water storage tank at the Central Winds Park surface water augmentation
treatment facility. Instead, the remote location for the storage tank was proposed to be at the Oak
Forest spray fields to minimize the structures at Central Winds Park.
We have more specifically identified the proposed location and are requesting the
Commission approve the proposed location before finalizing the design. The proposed location,
mostly undergrowth and scrub trees, is west of the power easement and approximately 350 feet from
the nearest home in Oak Forest. The tree buffer east of the power easement will remain unchanged
and we plan on leaving an additional 50' buffer of the existing vegetation on the west side of the
power easement.
The tank will hold 3 million gallons and has a side wall height of 35 feet with the dome top
at about 45 feet above grade. The proposed reclaimed storage and pumping generate minimal noise
and no odor. The separation distances between pumping/storage and adjacent residential is similar
at the East plant (Fox Glen) and West plant (unincorporated area).
