Work is underway for tank rehabilitation projects at the Hackberry and MacArthur Pump Stations. Ground storage tank rehabilitation for Hackberry Pump Station Tanks No. 4 and No. 5 and MacArthur Pump Station Tanks No. 2 and No. 3 keep the tanks on track with the 12- to 18-year maintenance schedule. This process extends the life of the system and minimizes the risk of unexpected repairs in the future.

Tank rehabilitation began with Hackberry Pump Station Tank No. 5 in December 2024 and will occur in stages through late summer 2026 to prevent disruptions to water service. Hackberry Pump Station rehabilitation includes cleaning, repairing and repainting Tank No. 5 and repairing the fill pipe support system at Tank No. 4.

Rehabilitation of MacArthur Pump Station Tanks No. 2 and No. 3 will include blasting and coating the interior and exterior of the tanks, replacing tank level transmitter boxes, replacing inlet valves, adding mixing systems to help maintain water quality and installing new ladder access to allow for safe climbing and inspection of the tanks.

The Hackberry and MacArthur water tank rehabilitation project is estimated to cost $4.7 million and is funded through the Water and Sewer System Non-Bond Capital Improvement Program Fund. Water tank maintenance supports the city’s commitment to maintain water, wastewater and drainage infrastructure and deliver clean, safe water to all Irving residents
