Update: April 16, 2008
City of Tigard Readies to Pour Reservoir Roof
How does one "pour" a roof? With concrete of course! Construction is progressing on
the city's 3-million-gallon reservoir located on the north side of Bull
Mountain Road near Alberta Rider Middle School. Weather permitting, the
city's contractor will begin pouring the four concrete sections of the
reservoir's roof in the next two weeks. Each section will contain
approximately 270 yards of cement. Read

New Reservoir and Park Construction Underway!
In October 2007, the city broke ground on a new, underground reservoir.
The site is located along SW Bull Mountain Road, opposite Alberta Rider
Elementary School, in Tigard.
The reservoir is part of the city’s Water System Distribution Plan, and
will save pumping costs and provide additional drinking water storage.
The increased water capacity will also provide improved fire protection
in the area. The entire 3-million-gallon reservoir will be enclosed
in concrete and will supply drinking water to residents on the south
and east sides of Bull Mountain. The city purchased property for the
reservoir earlier this year and recently started work on the project.
Once the underground reservoir is completed in fall of 2008, a small
park will be constructed above the buried reservoir. Park amenities
will include a playground for young children, picnic tables, and open
space both on top and adjacent to the reservoir. A winding interpretive
trail atop the reservoir will lead park-goers past a viewpoint to a
compass inlaid in concrete. The 2.5-acre park is expected to open
in the summer of 2009.
Location
Elizabeth Price Park is located along SW Bull Mountain
Road, opposite Alberta Rider Elementary School, in Tigard.
