Estates Reservoir Replacement

Estates Reservoir Replacement
Estates Reservoir in Oakland, California

EBMUD is replacing Estates Reservoir Dam, which is located in Oakland on Estates Drive between Bullard Drive and McAndrew Drive with two new concrete tanks. The new tank reservoirs will improve water quality and meet current seismic standards. EBMUD will build the two small water storage tanks within the footprint of the old Estates Reservoir site and install new landscaping. The existing Montclair Pumping Plant, also located at the site, will be rehabilitated. This work is part of a long-range program to upgrade water distribution facilities in the Central Oakland Hills south of Highway 24 and north of the Oakland/San Leandro border.

Workplan and Schedule

The project construction started in March 2012 and will take about two years. We have demolished the old reservoir and completed excavating for the new tanks. We are currently building the tanks. Flaggers will be stationed at key intersections to facilitate traffic movement during large concrete pours.
