Levine Reservoir: The Plan Building water tanks at the Levine Reservoir will provide health, safety and security benefits for consumers.
Health Risks of Open Reservoirs Drinking water from an open reservoir is like drinking water from a bucket that’s been sitting outside for a week.
Reservoir Projects Storage is a necessary component of the water supply system to meet high peak demands, maintain pressure in the system, provide a buffer for droughts and allow various components of the system to be out of service for maintenance or repair.
Levine Reservoir: History Construction of the Levine Reservoir began in 1885. Learn more about its history and importance to the community.
