Seismic Improvement Program Presented to: The Northern California Earthquake Hazards Workshop February 12, 2014
2
Water Treatment and Distribution 1,300,000 customers 331 square-mile area ~ 4,000 miles of pipe ~ 135 pumping plants ~ 180 reservoirs/tanks ~ 125 pressure zones Elevation: MSL-1450 ft
3
Seismic Hazards in Service Area
4
Pressure Zone Damage
5
Predicted Damage: Seismic Evaluation Program 63% of our customers would be out of water Increased fire risk with 1/3 of reservoirs and 2/3 of pumping plants out of service Claremont Tunnel would be out of service 5,500 pipeline breaks 4 of 6 treatment plants would be out of service
6
Capital Improvement Program l Package #1 ($3 million) ―Improve service after smaller earthquakes l Package #2 ($84 million) – Limited service improvements after Hayward M-7 l Package #3 ($189 million) – Improved service after Hayward M-7 l Package #4 ($288-$360 million) – Low priority, low benefits
