Public Works Angelo Booster Station Design Phase 1

Project Highlights

• Evaluated existing facilities’ capacity against increasing system demands.
• Identified and evaluated hydraulic alternatives and developed a dual-track approach to provide immediate redundancy and long-term system capacity.
• Integrated land use, environmental, and utility planning to minimize permitting delays and construction impacts.

Project Description

The Angelo Booster Station Design Phase 1 addresses urgent and future water supply needs in Camas, Washington. With existing booster infrastructure operating at full capacity during summer and lacking redundancy, the City partnered with MacKay Sposito and Carollo Engineers to design temporary improvements at the existing Angelo site to provide the redundancy needed in case of pump failure. The project adds an extra trailer-mounted pump to deliver immediate redundancy while meeting peak demands.

In addition to those temporary improvements, the Phase 1 project explored long-term solutions to increase water supply to the 455 and 544 Pressure Zones, supporting ongoing residential and economic development through the northern portions of Camas. This process culminated in a meeting with City operations and engineering staff to identify the best solution to move forward into the second phase, in which the permanent improvements will be designed and constructed.

Phase 1 services included detailed system hydraulics analysis, civil design, environmental and land-use consulting, and agency coordination. The team employed a dual-track approach—rapidly implementing a solution for redundant pumping capacity while concurrently evaluating pipeline and facility upgrades for broader pressure zone improvements.
