Infrastructure<br />

Storage Facility<br />

standpipe<br />

reservoir<br />

elevated tank<br />

Description<br />

An aboveground, supported pipe with a height that is generally greater than the<br />

diameter. Used where additional height is needed to provide additional pressure<br />

without pumping.<br />

Tank that is at or below ground level with a diameter or footprint that is<br />

typically greater than the height. Reservoirs are usually large in size and storage<br />

capacity. SPU is currently covering all open reservoirs or will be removing them<br />

from service.<br />

Elevated tanks have a supporting structure that elevates the lower operating<br />

elevation of water in the tank to a level above ground elevation.<br />

Typical layout of SPU water system infrastructure is shown on Figure 5-2.<br />
