Sandy, UT
Heritage 10 MG Tank & Park
Client: Orem City
Orem City selected Bowen Collins & Associates (BC&A) to lead the design and engineering of a new underground 10-million-gallon concrete water storage tank, a major water infrastructure project located at 400 South and 400 West. The project includes a new underground 10-million-gallon concrete water storage tank, a pump station, and a water well house, all designed to support community growth and enhance the city’s water supply reliability and resilience. To ensure long-term durability and system integrity, all tank yard piping is protected with specialized coatings and a galvanic cathodic protection system. The overall project includes a well house and a booster pump station, both designed by others. BC&A designed the landscaping for the entire project.
Honoring the site’s past as a historic orchard, the park design incorporates a heritage-farm theme that reflects the area’s agricultural roots. Custom play equipment mimics elements of the orchard and farm life, offering both imaginative recreation and a visual connection to the land’s history. Interpretive signage throughout the park tells the story of the former orchard, helping visitors understand the site’s transformation over time. The restrooms and site furnishings also follow the orchard-inspired aesthetic, using materials, colors, and architectural forms reminiscent of traditional farm structures. In addition to play areas, the park features water conservation demonstration gardens, open green space, and parking for neighborhood use.
