Why isn the Teer (Hanson Aggregates) Quarry ready to be used as a water storage site?
The City is in the second of a three-phase development process to use the quarry as a long-term storage facility to provide an additional 1.32 billion gallon capacity for the City. The current timetable to have the Quarry available for long-term storage calls for 2009 completion. Staff is also developing an emergency operations plan to access and utilize the approximately 500 million gallons currently in the quarry. This is in addition to other options to supplement existing supplies.
