New Reservoirs & Booster Pumps To Improve Water Service

Two new reservoirs and upcoming pump stations will provide millions of gallons of emergency storage that is always available – especially during fires – for Marina Coast Water District customers. The large tanks also lower power costs; they are filled when electricity costs are low at night and then provide water by gravity when needed.

The booster pumps replace worn pumps that were installed by the army in the 1950s. They pump most of the water that is served to the Ord Community. The tank reservoirs, pump station, and pipelines are located within easements on CSU Monterey Bay property.
