This tank was designed to improve the level of service to existing and future customers. This tank will improve conveyance and storage capacities to meet summer demands.

Concrete and Steel were both considered as products to build this tank. Due to the proximity of the San Jacinto fault the customer ultimately decided to go with steel construction due to their lengthy history with steel tanks and their ability to handle seismic loads.

The customer selected Akzo Noble “Buffalo Brown” as the tank’s external color. By choosing this color the tank is able to blend into the natural surroundings nicely.

With the addition of this tank into the owners system it not only improves the capacities of their water system, but also gives the town of Winchester a new landmark.
