Water Tank Update

/

Hello Rimrock owners,

Hard to believe spring is here already but we’ve been working hard all winter to make sure we’re on track to have the new water tank operational this year.

Gray Excavation was selected to work with Western Pacific Engineering and Baker Silo to coordinate all the required construction specifications. In January and February, we met 10 excavation companies and received 9 bids back. Gray Excavation is an Ephrata company with a competitive price and the experience to do this big project. 

We have two final permits to secure but the general timeline will be:

  • April/May, Discretionary Use Permit should be complete

  • Mid-May/June, Final permits and Excavation

  • June/July, Tank Construction

August/Mid-September, Connection and testing of new tank. Completion of all plumbing and excavation. Decommission of old tank.

This new water tank will be a valuable investment to help ensure the long-term success of our community. We currently have most of this in our reserve fund and, at this time, are not anticipating any special assessments.

It will be exciting to watch the project develop over the summer.
