Volunteers and public utilities workers led guided tours Saturday of the sixty-million gallon Maple Leaf covered reservoir. Inside the two cells are 768 columns, each 2-feet in diameter. The walls of the reservoir are 22-inches thick and 30,000 cubic yards of concrete went into the project. The top will be covered with rock, top soil and grass and the 16 acres will become a new open space. April 2012 is the estimated completion date for the $49 million project.
