The completely buried 1.2 Million Gallon Reservoir sited near a nordic ski trail is a major component of the Town's water treatment and storage facilities and provide emergency and domestic storage for the growing Summit County community adjacent to Lake Dillon. There's hope that the tank site may become becoming a training site for telemarking! Sensitivity to the environment, recreation opportunities and visual aspects of the site were key factors in site planning.

Test holes up to 50 feet in depth and a geological investigation were conducted by Bates Engineering's sub-consultant, Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc. Site surveys have been performed by Range West, Inc. Both sub-consultants offices are located in Summit County.

Grimm Construction Co., Inc. is the general contractor. Their staff includes Wayne O'Brien Project Manager, Peter Marsh, Project Engineer, and Wes Conaway, Superintendent.
