The RELLIS campus is experiencing rapid growth, and the original water supply system can no longer meet the campus's increasing demands. To address this, a new water supply system is needed, including an approximate 3,200-foot-deep well, water transmission main, cooling tower, ground storage tank, and an elevated storage tank. The well will provide up to 1,934 acre-feet of water per year at 2,800 gallons per minute. The ground storage tank will connect to a 1.5-million-gallon elevated storage tank to maintain 80 psi water pressure. The system's higher pressure may cause line breaks in older parts of the infrastructure, so pressure reducers will be installed where new and existing lines connect. The project will span two sites: the well and associated equipment on the southwest corner, and the cooling tower and storage tanks on the north side. It will be managed as a single CSP project.
