Winslow Water Tank Replacement Project
Project overview
The project consists of demolishing Tank 1 and constructing a new 2 million gallon elevated water tank. Tank 2 will be retained but will be used only for back up and emergency use. As a result of an Alternatives Analysis, the City has selected the Tank 2 location as its preferred alternative. Both the current location of Tank 1 and 2 and the preferred location are on Bainbridge Island School District Property. The City has worked with the School District to reach an agreement on the preferred location.
The Winslow Water System serves 2,450 customers in the Winslow and Fletcher Bay areas. These areas are currently served by the two High School Reservoirs which include the 1-million-gallon Tank 1 (near the right field of the Bainbridge High School softball field) and the 1.5-million-gallon Tank 2 (behind home plate of the softball field). Tank 1 was constructed in 1973 is not up to current seismic standards and is nearing the end of its useful life. Tank 2 was constructed in the 1990s.
January 2026: The new tank is expected to be brought online at the end of the month or in early February.
October 6 - 17, 2025: Our new water tank is in the running to be Tnemec's Peoples Choice Tank for 2025! You can help by voting at https://tnemec.com/tank-of-the-year-2025/. (One vote per email address.)
October 2025: The mural on the tank has been completed.
September 2025: As of September 19th the painting of the main tank is complete with mural painting beginning September 22nd. The mural painting is expected to take seven to ten days..
