Utility Calls Reservoir Cracks, Patches Routine.
Byline: Neil Johnson
Aug. 29--TAMPA -- Scores of jagged cracks of varying sizes have opened up along the cementlike material covering the walls of Tampa Bay Water's massive reservoir in southern Hillsborough County.
Crews have been working for three months to fill the fissures with grout to keep them from enlarging when rainfall eventually causes the water level to rise.
Alarmed by the cracks, state Sen. Ronda Storms, R-Brandon, asked the state to inspect the reservoir and determine whether the cracks posed a hazard.
On Tuesday, two inspectors from the state Department of Environmental Protection's Tampa office went to the reservoir and said they found no threat.
"There is no compromise to the structure," DEP spokeswoman Pam Vazquez said.
But Storms, a former member of Tampa Bay Water's board, questioned why anyone would accept cracks in the walls of a reservoir designed to hold 15 billion gallons of water.
