Nevada Irrigation District Awards Alta Sierra Reservoir Design-Build Contract

Hypalon Covered Reservoir
Alta Sierra Reservoir Replacement Project

The Nevada Irrigation District has selected the Gateway Pacific Contractors/Bennett Engineering Services design-build team to construct a 3-million-gallon water storage tank to replace the District’s Alta Sierra Reservoir. The tank will be an AWWA D110 Type I pre-stressed concrete tank with a concrete roof designed to withstand local snow loads. The design also includes yard piping, additional drainage improvements, mixers and blowers with sound attenuation, and electrical and SCADA system upgrades. Maintaining the existing berm, landscape screening, and new fencing and gate will minimize visual effects to the adjacent neighborhood.  Construction will include demolition and removal of the existing hypalon liner and cover and replacement of the District’s existing water valves.  Construction is expected to be completed in the fall of 2022.
