A project worth celebrating. 🎉
On September 11, 2026 we joined the Orick community and project partners for a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the completion of the Orick CSD Tank 2 Replacement Project.
Building on the successful Tank 1 replacement, this project replaced an aging, leak-prone tank with a new 100,000-gallon glass-fused, bolted-steel tank designed to meet current seismic standards. The $1.58 million project also included site piping upgrades, SCADA improvements, a 90-kilowatt backup generator, and two radio communication towers—all helping strengthen the reliability and resilience of Orick’s water system.
PACE Engineering is proud to have worked alongside Orick Community Services District, Wahlund Construction, KC Engineering Company, ENPLAN, and the many individuals who helped bring this important infrastructure project to completion.
For a small community, dependable water infrastructure makes a big difference. It was great to gather with the people behind the project and celebrate another investment in Orick’s future.
