Thousand Oaks Reservoir Replacement

Calleguas Municipal Water District is replacing the above-ground  7 million gallon steel tank at 568 Lone Oak Drive in Thousand Oaks with two buried concrete reservoirs. The steel tank was built in the early 1960s, has begun to corrode, and needs to be upgraded to meet new seismic standards. In order to coordinate the project with the local scenic vistas, the tank will be removed and the new reservoirs will be buried. Calleguas needs a certain amount of storage in order to provide adequate water supplies to our customers, which are the retail water providers in the City of Thousand Oaks. In order to maintain necessary storage during construction, Calleguas needs to build one reservoir, remove the existing tank, and then build the second reservoir.  The two reservoirs together will have the same storage capacity as the existing tank.

 The project also includes installation of a new 20-inch drain line in Lone Oak Drive, which will allow the tank to drain into a storm drain in Hillcrest should the need arise. When completed, the exposed above-ground steel tank will be replaced with two buried reservoirs, which will be covered with soil and landscaped. The completed site will be more attractive and will fit in with the surrounding hillside community.

Salinity Management Pipeline

The Calleguas Salinity Management Project (SMP) is a regional pipeline that will collect salty water generated by groundwater desalting facilities and excess recycled water and convey that water for re-use. Any unused salty water will be safely discharged to the ocean, where natural salt levels are much higher.

Salinity Management Pipeline

Oxnard and Port Hueneme (Phase 1E)

This phase of the SMP will be 48 inches in diameter and comprised of steel pipe.  The pipeline will connect to a previously-completed segment at Edison Dr. and Hueneme Rd. just outside the City of Oxnard boundary.  The pipeline will proceed westward along Hueneme Rd. through the Cities of Oxnard and Port Hueneme to Surfside Dr., where the pipeline will turn southward along Surfside Dr. The pipeline will terminate at its connection with the Hueneme Outfall near Port Hueneme Beach Park Parking Lot “A.”  A 12 inch diameter steel pipe segment will connect the SMP with the Port Hueneme Water Agency’s Brackish Water Reclamation Demonstration Facility along Perkins Rd. in Oxnard. Crossings of railroads, flood control channels, and certain congested intersections will be accomplished via a tunneling method.

Phase 2C

The SMP Phase 2C pipeline will be 30 inches in diameter and will be constructed along the west side of Lewis Road in Camarillo, from just south of Durkin Street to just north of Las Posas/Upland Roads.  The pipeline will be constructed in a tunneled casing beneath the intersections at Adolfo and Las Posas Roads.  A map of the alignment is provided in the construction brochure.

The contractor will begin work in late January or early February 2012.  Pipeline construction will continue throughout the year.
