Berryman Reservoir Replacement
Berryman Reservoir
EBMUD is replacing Berryman Reservoir, which is located on Euclid Avenue in Berkeley. The earthen dam that formed the reservoir was built more than a century ago to provide drinking water and fire service to central Berkeley (including the downtown area and the University of California). When recent engineering studies showed that a major earthquake could seriously damage the dam, EBMUD drained the reservoir and began using a different reservoir in the Berkeley hills to meet water service needs in central Berkeley until Berryman Reservoir could be replaced. EBMUD studied alternatives and sought public input on the planned replacement water storage tank.
Workplan and Schedule
Construction began in June 2010 and is expected to be complete by March 2012.
Work hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Cordornices Park will remain open during construction.
