The 2011 Water <br />System Master Plan recommended improvements for Easter Bowl and Glenloch Water Tanks to mitigate <br />potential earthquake damage, prevent potable water loss, ensure water availability for suppression of <br />earthquake induced fires, and enhance water system reliability. The improvements primarily involved <br />retrofitting the foundation and roof of the Easter Bowl Tank, modifying the Glenloch Tank inlet-outlet pipe <br />to minimize the risk of earthquake-related damage, and separating the overflow pipe from the ground in <br />both cases. The Project also included repairs to the existing roof of the Easter Bowl Tank. <br />6.C. - Page 1 of 6 <br />27
