Potable Water Storage


Rio Oso Tank
  

Water is processed by conventional filtration through two treatment plans, disinfected through chlorine contact chambers and pumped to storage in the 1.2 MG storage tank on Rio Oso Drive and the 3.0 MG storage tank on Van Vleck Ranch (east of Rancho Murieta). These tanks hold water for distribution to the customers of Rancho Murieta Community Services District. The two storage tanks hold a two day supply of water for the District as well as a four (4) hour supply, at 4,000 gpm, for fire protection.

System Operations
The system is divided into two separate systems; a pressure system and a gravity feed system. The area north of Guadalupe Drive is the pressure system and its water comes from the booster system at the Rio Oso Drive storage tank. The rest of the system is gravity flow and the water comes from the Van Vleck Tank through the south area across the yellow bridge to the area south of the second Guadalupe Drive.
