Griff Creek Restoration at Old Kingswood 500,000 Tank

When the NTPUD built anew 1.3 mil. gallon water storage tank and booster pump station, the District saw an opportunity to demolish the old 500,000 gallon water tank and booster pump station, both built in the 1960s, and restore a sensitive Stream Environment Zone along Griff Creek. This project was designed to improve water quality by removing infrastructure from the SEZ and restoring the area as closely as possible to pre-disturbance conditions. The priorities were to reconnect the creek with its floodplain in an area where a berm was built to protect the water tank from stream flows; re-contour and re-vegetate the site to prevent erosion and restore a diverse native plant community.
