Water storage shortage prompts High Point reservoir plan
The report by William C. Olsen, city consultant for High Point, cites a 17,100,000 gallon daily storage shortfall to meet Underwriters’ grading standards. He recommends buying J. Allen Austin property west of the current reservoir to build a new 12,480,000 gallon tank at 206,956.50, or an alternate cheaper design at 176,499.00 with a division wall for on-hand storage during cleaning. Reservoirs A B and C show unit costs per million gallons, favoring A without a wall, and total storage options range from 12,440,000 to 13,290,000 gallons for costs around 176,500 to 253,500. A minimum build to satisfy the 20,850,000 gallon requirement is urged, implying an additional 16 to 17 million gallons of storage.
