Project Overview

Basics

CLEAN AND ABUNDANT WATER FOR HUMAN COMMUNITIES
Improve Drinking Water Quality and Water Related Infrastructure to Protect Public Health
Water Supply Reliability and Lead Abatement Project

  • Address Climate Change and Extreme Event Effects, Impacts and Vulnerabilities
  • Conserve, Enhance and Restore Watersheds and Ecosystems that Support Biological Diversity
  • Ensure that Disadvantaged and Underrepresented Communities Benefit from Initiatives
  • Ensure Water Supply Reliability and Quality
  • Respect Local Autonomy and Local Knowledge in NCRP Planning and Implementation

NCRP IRWM Prop 1 Round 2 (DWR)
Deferred/Unfunded
The proposed mitigation project, the City of Montague Water Supply Reliability and Lead Abatement Project (Project) will remove and replace the current red lead-linseed oil coated 500,000-gallon water tank, and remove the current red lead-linseed oil coated 30,000-gallon water storage tank and two pressure tanks formerly used in the sand filtration process. The project will address insufficient water storage and the lack of redundancy in the storage system.

General Information

Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
One part of Montague Water Supply Reliability and Abatement Project will remove four water tanks (500,000 gallon tank, 30,0000 gallon tank, 2 pressure tanks) and replace the 500,000 water storage tank, which is not currently used due to condition. All four water tanks need to be removed because they are coated in red lead-linseed oil, which poses a health and safety threat to the surrounding population and ecosystem. A lead survey will be conducted to confirm the levels of lead present and evaluate the lead hazard. A lead abatement plan will be required as part of the demolition plans. Lead abatement would include the removal of lead paint from all or a portion of the tanks as well as removal of any materials contaminated with lead. The second part of the project will be to replace the 500,000-gallon water supply tank with a new steel tank and SCADA. This project would increase climate resiliency by providing a more resilient water supply to aid in drought and wildfire events.
