We have built a storage system consisting of the 108-million-gallon McMillin Reservoir located near Puyallup, plus 16 other reservoirs, standpipes and tanks that can store up to 72 million gallons of additional water. This system, operated mostly by gravity, assures that water can be supplied economically to customers throughout the Tacoma Water service area. Planning is underway to convert the currently uncovered McMillin Reservoir to a covered facility with reduced capacity. Design work is underway and the first two (of three) 33-million-gallon tanks will be constructed in 2009.
