Oak Canyon Reservoir

Triunfo Sanitation District, owner and operator of Oak Park Water Service, has embarked on a major water system improvement project: construction of a new water storage tank in the hills east of Lindero Canyon Road and north of Kanan Road. (Click here to view the project site.)

The 2.1 million-gallon tank, to be named the Oak Canyon Reservoir, will increase water storage capacity for the community by more than 1 million gallons. It will also replace the Conifer Tank, an existing storage reservoir located near Conifer Street and Conifer Circle. Built in 1966, the Conifer Tank sits on an old landslide, and its foundation is not suitable for seismic retrofitting

Construction Schedule
Construction officially began on June 27, 2011and should be completed in about a year. Daily construction activity will begin no earlier than 7:00 a.m. and end by 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Projected start and finish dates for key phases of the project include:

Impact on Streets
The actual tank construction site is located in the hills, away from homes and streets. However, traffic on Kanan Road, between Golden Eagle Drive and Los Arcos Drive, will be delayed briefly from time to time to enable trucks and other equipment to access the constructions site by means of a fire road. Installation of pipeline, valves, and a control facility may also affect traffic on Kanan periodically. Every effort will be made to keep delays to a minimum.

Trail Closures
For safety reasons, trails in the immediate vicinity of the construction site will be closed during construction hours. (Click here for closure locations.) All trails will be accessible before and after construction hours and on weekends.

Visual Impact
Constructed of pre-stressed concrete, the new reservoir will be buried underground; thus, visibility from nearby neighborhoods will be minimal.
