Why is the water tower coming down? Why? What will replace it? thanks.
Camille here's the 'Why' from the Potrero Heights Reservoir Upgrade fact sheet:
Upgraded Reservoir and New Supply Line will Improve Water Pressure
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is planning to upgrade the Potrero Heights Reservoir and remove the existing elevated steel water tank and pump station on the site at 22nd Street between Carolina and Wisconsin streets.
The elevated tank and pump station will no longer be needed to supply the surrounding Potrero Heights area due to the addition of a new 16-inch water pipeline that is now linked from the McLaren Tanks at John McLaren Park to the reservoir. This pipeline work was recently completed in XXXX 2005.
The new dedicated supply line will improve both water pressure and water quality in the Potrero Heights area.
Water pressure is estimated to improve from 30 to 35 pounds, which the neighborhood generally receives, to approximately 50-55 pounds.
The reservoir, built in 1897, is the fourth oldest in the City and has a capacity of 1 million gallons. The tank and pump station were added in 1950 to supplement water service to the expanding community.
In 1996, it was determined that the reservoir structure was structurally inadequate and in need of seismic upgrades to satisfy current codes. The SFPUC plans to replace the reservoir roof, reinforce the columns for seismic durability, and upgrade the piping and electrical systems.
The new roof will be constructed using reinforced concrete in place of the existing wood roof, and will raise the total height of the reservoir approximately 2-3 feet. The SFPUC will also construct a 10-foot maintenance roadway around the reservoir to provide access for maintenance and operations. Drainage and security improvements to the site will also be made as part of this project.
