The Dalles City Council gave the go-ahead to do roof structure modifications for the Sorosis Reservoir. It will cost about $1.4 million for the project…which became a necessity when deterioration and metal loss on many of the interior roof rafters and bolts due to corrosion was discovered during interior painting of the reservoir. Mayor Rich Mays says this work has impacts on other parts of the municipal water infrastructure…which will need improvements to prepare for Google’s new data centers. Work on the Sorosis Reservoir has to be done in the winter months…and it’s to be completed by April of 2024.
