The project consists of performing a planning study to establish baseline conditions of the Lake Rockwell reservoir, dam, and current and future water use needs for the Akron Water Supply Bureau to provide a thorough alternatives analysis for conceptual design and cost estimates for alternative basins and a river pump station to ensure the conveyance of raw water. This Capability and Capacity Building (C&CB) project will determine whether the Lake Rockwell spillway structure can be removed and replaced with upground reservoir(s). The initial phase of data collection will assist to inform the baseline conditions of the reservoir, dam, and current and future water use needs and may include bathymetry and surveying, hydrologic assessments, further refinement of future water demand rate, and a hydraulic assessment. The project shall determine the most viable alternative to mitigate risk to potential future Dam break, loss of water service, and flooding. The feasibility study will include operation and maintenance considerations, climate resiliency, stakeholder engagement and partnership building opportunities, residual risk mitigation, cost estimation per alternative, and benefit-cost analysis. The City of Akron will utilize grant funding from the FEMA Flood Mitigation Assistance Program to reimburse costs for this project.
