New Ione Water Tank Dedication This Thursday

slide25.pngVia News Release - The Amador Water Agency and the City of Ione are hosting a dedication of the new 2-million gallon Wildflower Water Storage tank Thursday morning on Brickyard Road, east of Highway 124. The tank’s construction cost of about $2.2 million was paid for by private developer Ryland Homes, while JTS Communities paid $330,000 toward the cost of the tank’s new booster pump station. The AWA, in a release announcing the dedication, said the 2-million gallon tank will increase fire protection flows and emergency storage for the entire city, and create better operational capacity for Ione’s water treatment plant. slide26.pngThe tank will also serve the future 276-home Wildflower Subdivision. The AWA board of directors, council members of Ione, and members of the Amador County Board of Supervisors are expected to attend the dedication, along with officials from Ryland Homes and JTS Communities. The Wildflower Water Storage Tank is east of Highway 124 on Brickyard Road.
