Shady Avenue Water Storage Tank Rehabilitation

The Westminster Water Department is scheduled to begin maintenance and repair work on the 1 million gallon Shady Avenue water storage tank, which was constructed in 1970. The water storage tank will be taken offline the week of September 11, 2023 for approximately 10 weeks. During this time, you may notice activity and noise taking place around the tank site and area (Shady Avenue and Sunset Road). While this storage tank location is out of service, it is critical that water users in the community do as much as possible to conserve water.

Although all water customers are encouraged to implement everyday water-saving practices both inside and outside your home or business as a way of life, we are asking customers to do more to reduce water usage while the Shady Avenue tank is offline. Every drop saved by our customers helps improve water flows across the distribution system and extend reservoir storage levels should a longer dry period be experienced.
