SAGINAW WATER TOWER

Spicer Group provided engineering and design services for the City of Saginaw’s new 3-million-gallon elevated concrete composite water storage tank, located near the intersection of Webber and South Washington Avenue. The $15 million project was funded through a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) American Rescue Plan (ARP) Grant.

Spicer Group led the DWSRF financial application process and completed hydraulic modeling, design development, and permitting for all project components. The design included an auger cast-in-place deep foundation, dual 36-inch risers, flow meters and valving, a mechanical mixer, SCADA controls, and an 84-inch access tube. Additional design elements included the tank’s electrical, mechanical, and HVAC systems, a finished first floor, onsite natural gas generator, and integrated site security features.

The 160-foot-tall tank will provide essential water storage and improve system reliability for more than 170,000 customers across mid-Michigan communities. The project is nearing completion.
