The Indian Creek Reservoir located near Markleeville is a popular fishing spot. It was constructed in 1967 and began storing water in 1968 as the area had very little natural surface water.
The water in the reservoir comes from seasonal production of recycled water from South Lake Tahoe which is used for irrigation during the spring and summer months.
There are campgrounds at the Indian Creek Reservoir.
To improve the water quality of the nearby Indian Creek Reservoir, the South Tahoe Public Utility District needed an affordable storage building for its oxygenation project.
Romtec supplied a cost-effective utility building to meet the district’s needs. A one-room design was chosen for its simplicity, and a SIP with sheet metal roofing helped create this solid building at a low price. The utility building for Indian Creek Reservoir has split-face dry-stacked, CMU concrete block wall, with two double man doors.
This Romtec supplied utility building provides a secure and reliable building space for the oxygenation project at this reservoir.
Romtec can design a public utility building that meets a specific location’s needs based on equipment, site, along with a variety of other variables. Our predesigned buildings are site-built and limit the environmental impacts on the surrounding area.
