Tanks a lot<\/p>\n
San Jose Water has placed the first of two planned 8\u2011million\u2011gallon pre-stressed concrete water storage tanks into service at its Cambrian Station, following approval from the California Division of Drinking Water. The second tank is under construction and planned for completion in 2027.<\/p>\n
The new tanks replace two aging earthen embankment reservoirs: one built in 1890 that held 12.1 million gallons and one built in 1921 that held 3.9 million gallons.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis project represents a significant investment in long\u2011term reliability, seismic resilience and cost\u2011effective service,\u201d said Tanya Moniz\u2011Witten, president of San Jose Water.<\/p>\n
The Cambrian Reservoir Replacement Project is also designed to strengthen system redundancy and boost fire\u2011flow capabilities.<\/p>\n
The Cambrian Zone was the first pressurized water zone in San Jose and today serves approximately 225,000 people across the North Valley, Las Plumas, Rosemary Gardens, Northside, Japantown, Rose Garden and downtown San Jose.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the concert is just a couple days after the spring equinox, I planned the music around the energy of springtime \u2013 hope, joy, and renewal \u2013 which also have a natural connection to the start of the bird migration season,\u201d B\u00e9rub\u00e9 \u00a0says. \u201cEach of the pieces we are presenting shows a different facet of this energy, from a cacophony of birdsong in\u00a0\u201cVivaldi Recomposed\u201d\u00a0to gentle zephyrs in\u00a0\u201cThe Lark Ascending\u201d\u00a0to the rollicking buoyancy of the\u00a0\u201cHolberg Suite.\u201d<\/p>\n
