The Dove Elevated Storage Tank was constructed in 1973 with a storage capacity of
750,000 gallons of water. The pedestal and the elevated bowl are steel construction
requiring periodic painting and other maintenance activities. This tank was last emptied
and painted between the fall of 1993 and spring of 1994. The City logos were touched up
in 2008.
Painting systems used on storage tanks typically last 12 to 15 years. The paint system life
can be extended with minor maintenance. The interiors of all of our tanks are inspected
annually by a certified inspector checking the paint system for pitting and deterioration.
Last year, staff had DeltaTek, the City's elevated and ground storage tank consultant,
perform a full inspection of this tank. The results of this inspection identified that the bowl
and the pedestal needed painting and that structural repairs were needed on the pedestal
due to corrosion.
In addition to the painting and structural repairs, modifications to the tank are necessary to
comply with regulatory agency regulations (TCEQ, AWWA, ANSI, OSHA) and to address
operational deficiencies. These modifications include replacing the roof vent with a new
vandal resistant vent, replacing the insect shield with one that will also shield from dust and
other particulate matter, installing a new roof safety rail and installing an anti -fall railing on
all access ladders.
