The Palmer Drive Water Tank is a 3 million gallon ground mounted steel tank located off of Rowe Way. This tank is 130 feet in diameter and about 33 feet high and provides storage for Zone 1 of the Novato water system, serving NMWD customers principally in areas south of Highway 37.  The tank also makes water available for fighting wild fires in the immediate vicinity.  Construction was completed in early 2009.

The Stafford Dam Outlet Structure Rehabilitation project replaced the outlet gates and reinforced the outlet tower to withstand earthquake shaking.  The new gates are hydraulically operated and are monitored and controlled from the Stafford Treatment Plant control room.  Construction was completed in early 2009.  The photos above are of the outlet tower during construction of Stafford Lake Dam in 1951 and as it looks today.
