Vic Trace Reservoir Logo

The Vic Trace Reservoir is located in the Alta Mesa neighborhood and was constructed in 1956 as a partially buried, 10-million-gallon concrete reservoir for drinking water storage. As the City’s largest single reservoir, it serves as a vital component of the City’s water distribution system, serving nearly 60,000 people or approximately 70% of the City’s population. With the reservoir approaching the end of its useful life, the City will be replacing it through the Vic Trace Reservoir Replacement (Project).

As this Project moves forward, the City is committed to an open and transparent process that engages residents and nearby businesses throughout the design, environmental review, and construction phases of the Project. This includes a robust communication and public outreach process, including soliciting feedback through community workshops and other engagement activities during the design, environmental, and pre-construction phases.
