• Review and provide your feedback on the architectural features

of the new building design and landscaping

Station 1: Project Background

Project Map

Service Area and Facility Facts• Knaus Service area:

• 250 Acres

• > 600 houses

• Pump Station receives water

from Waluga Service area and

is used to fill Knaus Reservoir

• Reservoir constructed in 1925

• Pump station constructed in

1960 and rebuilt in 1980

Why replace the facility?• Steel tank and building structure are not

seismically resilient

• Tank encroached by mature trees limiting access

• Obsolete and aging equipment (39 years old)

• Building is too small to meet electrical code

• Water system does not need the tank to maintain storage requirements

Site Plan AlternativesUse Existing Driveway Use Existing Tank Area

Use Area away from Fir Trees

Several alternatives were developed

and evaluated for tree impacts and

operations access.

Preferred Site Plan

Critical Tree Root Zone

Station 2: Building Options

•Building provides shelter and

controlled environment for

pumps, valves, and electrical

cabinets

•Extends equipment life and

protects equipment from

vandalism

•Building will blend facility into

the residential setting

Building Materials Composite shingles have a

residential appearance and

excellent value

Wainscot will be cultured

stone providing a natural

appearance at a reasonable

cost

Smooth face cement

fiber lap siding is

consistent with the

period style of the

neighborhood

Gable ends will be cement fiber

cedar shakes or batten boards
