Service Area and Facility Facts• Knaus Service area:
• 250 Acres
• > 600 houses
• Pump Station receives water
from Waluga Service area and
is used to fill Knaus Reservoir
• Reservoir constructed in 1925
• Pump station constructed in
1960 and rebuilt in 1980
Why replace the facility?• Steel tank and building structure are not
seismically resilient
• Tank encroached by mature trees limiting access
• Obsolete and aging equipment (39 years old)
• Building is too small to meet electrical code
• Water system does not need the tank to maintain storage requirements
Site Plan AlternativesUse Existing Driveway Use Existing Tank Area
Use Area away from Fir Trees
Several alternatives were developed
and evaluated for tree impacts and
operations access.
