Almond Reservoir Replacement Project

EBMUD will be upgrading the water facilities in your neighborhood as part of the Almond Reservoir Replacement Project. This project will help improve water quality and water service reliability in the area and include the following elements:

1. Replace  the existing open-cut Almond Reservoir, located opposite 18083 Lamson Road, with two new pre-stressed concrete tanks within the existing reservoir basin.
2. Replace the existing Proctor Pumping Plant, located on the same Almond Reservoir site with a new pumping plant.
3. Retrofit the existing Almond Rate Control Station (RCS), located at the north-west corner of Somerset Avenue & Stanton Avenue intersection.
4. Construct a new RCS/Regulator near the intersection of Heyer Avenue & Cull Canyon Road.
5. Rehabilitate and eventual demolition of Cull Creek Reservoir, located near 19600 Cull Canyon Road.

This project includes replacement of Almond Reservoir with the dual 1.8MG concrete tanks inside the existing reservoir basin, installation of a 30-inch inlet/outlet main, valve pit along the new access road, and new communication system. Proctor PP will be replaced as part of this project and relocated to a shared location with the new Almond Reservoir valve pit. The Cull Creek Reservoir will then be demolished after the new Almond Reservoirs are placed in service.

Workplan and schedule

Design is scheduled for Spring 2026 to Spring 2028, followed by construction from 2032-2035. Construction hours are to be determined.
