City of Morgan Hill - Glen Ayre Hillside Water Reservoir Project

The City of Morgan Hill is planning to upgrade its existing Glen Ayre Hillside Water Reservoir by replacing the current 35-foot diameter, 100,000-gallon tank with a new 55-foot diameter tank capable of holding 250,000 gallons, while maintaining the same water level height. This substantial capacity increase necessitates expanding the existing utility easement to accommodate the larger footprint of the new structure. To ensure continuous water service during the transition, five temporary tanks, each with a 21,000-gallon capacity, will be installed on-site throughout construction. The project is part of ongoing infrastructure improvements in Morgan Hill, California, with all work localized to the 95037 zip code area. Project oversight is managed by David Gittleson, the Project Engineer, who serves as the primary point of contact for technical and operational inquiries, and Amberly Morgan, the Senior Environmental Planner, who handles environmental coordination. The project is forecasted for release in July 2026, with no formal solicitation number assigned yet, indicating it is in the pre-solicitation planning phase. The initiative reflects the city’s commitment to enhancing water storage capacity and reliability in alignment with regional infrastructure needs, while ensuring environmental and regulatory compliance during construction.
