Fullerton Reservoir
Learn more about the $78 million-dollar reservoir project's design and development over 50 years and its capacity to ensure an adequate water supply for the region. View a rendering of the finished project, in which three reservoirs will be built.
Construction will begin in January or February. Normal construction hours will be 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and involve 8 to 15 workers. Our contract will include noise restrictions borrowed from old State of Maryland regulations: 65 decibels at the property line from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and 55 decibels at the property line from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Three reservoirs must be built, because with one reservoir out of service, pipeline and valve restrictions make it impossible to pass all of the treatment plant flow through a single remaining reservoir. Two reservoirs must be in service at all times to handle the treatment plant flow and a third reservoir is required for necessary operational flexibility. The reservoirs could be buried, but there is no reason to do so once it is understood that they cannot be lowered into the ground because their overflow elevations (the elevation above sea level) have to be compatible with the overflow elevations of Druid Lake and Curtis Bay Tank.
The project will require removing trees, however, we will attempt to preserve as many trees as possible. Additionally, we will be planting some smaller trees as part of our landscaping plan, which is still under development.
Major concrete pours will continue through the night until the respective pour is complete, when there likely will be about 45 workers onsite. There will be about six pours, during there will be a steady flow of concrete trucks to and from the site until the pour is complete. Trucks will line up along the access road inside of the property; if this becomes a problem during construction, we will have some of the trucks line up along the Fullerton Pumping Station driveway. It will be a contract requirement for all major concrete pours that the concrete trucks must enter and leave the site by way of Perry Hall Boulevard and the eastern portion of Bucks Schoolhouse Road.
After the reservoirs are constructed and in service, we anticipate the site will be visited by one or two Baltimore City maintenance crews daily. Additionally, there will be approximately one chemical delivery (sodium hypochlorite for disinfection) a month.
The details of security lighting are still under design, but minimal lighting around the reservoirs, the disinfection building and at the entrance, can be expected. The reservoir facilities will be secured by fencing and the remainder of the property will be reserved for use by the future Fullerton Filtration Plant project, which also must be secured once constructed. We are exploring all options to ensure safety and plan to consult our traffic engineering staff to determine the utility of a one-way road.
The project has been delayed twice for multi-year intervals each time. The first delay occurred when the project was put on hold so that the Fullerton Filtration Plant study could be performed. Baltimore City and Baltimore County agreed there was a possibility the reservoirs could negatively impact the future filtration plant and the prudent course of action was to study the filtration plant before proceeding any further with design of the reservoirs. After the filtration plant study was completed, there was a second delay due to cost-share negotiations.
Windsor Mill Road Improvement Project
This project will support pedestrian safety and vehicular capacity improvements along Windsor Mill Road from Featherbed Lane to Woodlawn Drive by widening the roadway from an existing pavement width of 22 feet to a proposed width of 36 feet (from Featherbed Lane to Woodlawn Drive, approximately 3,400 feet) and by including five-foot sidewalks on both sides of the road. This roadway segment is an essential connection for transit commuters and provides accessibility for adolescents to and from school. This project will have many benefits, including:
- Providing a safe and accessible route for the drivers and pedestrians along this roadway
- Satisfying the various requests of the Gwynn Oak community by satisfying their various requests
- Enhancing the County's accountability in identifying existing infrastructure for rehabilitation and safety improvements
The pavement widening will include:
- Additional storm drain systems
- New curb and gutter
- Water main installation
- Relocation of existing major utility poles
Land acquisition will be required by numerous adjoining property owners. This segment is flanked with residential homes and heavily traveled by vehicles and pedestrians due to the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) bus stop located at the intersection of Windsor Mill Road and Woodlawn Drive.
