Bolton Reservoir Siting Alternative Analysis

Bolton Reservoir Siting Alternatives Analysis

The city of West Linn is proposing to replace the Bolton Reservoir with a new 4-million-gallon reservoir. The 2.5-million-gallon Bolton Reservoir is now 101 years old and was constructed when the city’s population was 1,500. Today, West Linn is home to 25,000 residents with increased water demand.

The city is using a two-phased process to identify a site of the new reservoir.
