Work begins this fall on the Esters elevated storage tank replacement project. The new tank will increase water storage capacity by 1 million gallons to support population growth in southwest Irving.


The existing 1.5 million-gallon Esters tank, located behind the West Irving Library in the Police and Fire Training Facility parking lot, was built in 1985 and was last rehabilitated in 2010. Building the new 2.5 million-gallon tank eliminates the need to invest in maintenance and repair of the existing tank while providing the additional storage required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to meet future water demands.


The new water tank will be constructed at 2601 Esters Road. Once complete, the old tank will be demolished, and the area will be paved over to expand parking at the Irving Police and Fire Training Facility.


The $14 million replacement project is funded through the Water and Wastewater System bond fund and is expected to be complete in summer 2027. For more information on the city’s ongoing infrastructure initiatives, visit IrvingTX.gov/IrvingInvests.
