Construction Update
Work has commenced on Courtright system improvements that will enable the District to permanently decommission and eventually remove the 49-year-old Courtright Tank in the Bret Harte Road area. The work is scheduled to take a couple of months, and involves the installation of 520 feet of 8-inch pipeline, as well as a new pressure regulator valve.
The Courtright Systems Improvement Program is the latest example of the District’s work to replace, decommission or upgrade redwood water tanks. This tank is one of just six leak-prone redwood tanks remaining, out of a total of 130 tanks throughout the District’s service area.
Project Schedule & Road Safety During Construction
- Construction will take place 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. Note: Setup and cleanup activities may occur outside of this timeframe.
- Marin Water and its contractor, D&D Pipelines, 415-482-6510, will take all measures possible to minimize inconveniences associated with the project, including efforts to limit noise and traffic delays.
- Please be aware of heavy equipment and construction personnel on the roadway, reduce your speed and follow relevant traffic control signs at all times.
