Water Storage
Water storage is critical. Efficient design of water systems for storage is the best defense against climate variability and demand issues. EETS specializes in integrating water storage tanks into pumping and distribution facilities. We listen to our clients, address all environmental issues and regulations, and provide quality design work in the most efficient and effective manner.

Water Storage Projects
Kern County, California
Arvin-Edison Water Storage District North Canal Spreading Works
The project involves expanding the Sycamore Spreading Works by approximately 90 acres, increasing the size of the N1 Balancing Reservoir by about 30 acres, and constructing four recovery/extraction wells. The Sycamore Expansion, situated on the eastern edge of the District, aims to enlarge the current groundwater recharge and recovery operation. This part of the
project includes building nine basins and 11 inter-basin structures, with the recharged water being pumped from the aquifer by the District’s existing extraction wells. The N1 Expansion, located in the northern half of the District, involves adding two additional ponds and four recovery/extraction wells. EETS engineers were tasked with designing the electrical infrastructure for the expansions at the North Canal Spreading Works and the Intertie Pipeline/Pump Station:

TCPUD operates 11 water storage tanks and 10 groundwater supply wells, capable of producing 600 million gallons of potable water annually. Faced with aging infrastructure and increased demand, the District has been refurbishing and replacing booster pumps and storage tanks. The Upper Highlands Project included the installation of the Upper Highlands Booster Pump and a 1.2 million gallon storage tank to serve as a reserve for the Highlands community and the local high school. The scope of EETS’s work included the following:
- Design modifications to instrumentation and control systems
- Design emergency generator/ATS
- Design telemetry/SCADA systems
- Design (1) water reservoir (0.25MGD)
- Post-design services

Yuba County, California
Yuba-Wheatland Ground Water Recharge & Storage Pumping Stations
The Yuba/Wheatland In-Lieu Groundwater Recharge and Storage Project channels surface water from the Yuba River, when available, to an area in Yuba County that currently depends entirely on groundwater. The introduction of this surface water supply facilitates in-lieu recharge of the Basin, enhancing water supply reliability, sustaining and improving
water quality, supplying stored groundwater for local use during periods of limited surface water availability, and providing water to the Environmental Water Account and the SWP and CVP. EETS provided electrical design services for both the pump stations and the storage pump stations.
