Construction update Reservoir 3 Replacement Project

The Reservoir 3 Replacement Project in Everett, WA, is moving into its second phase, which involves demolishing an aging 20-million-gallon reservoir and constructing a new 15-million-gallon facility. This new reservoir, combined with another, will enhance the total storage capacity to 23 million gallons. According to Everett’s 2020 Comprehensive Water Plan, the existing reservoir, over a century old, poses significant risks, including structural failure during earthquakes. This reservoir is crucial for providing drinking water to Everett residents and surrounding water districts, underscoring the project's importance. Funded by utility rates, the initiative aims to bolster the safety and reliability of the local water supply.
