By the end of the year, the valve house will be completely enclosed. The process, which took a little over three months, included installing the prefabricated steel walls and roof panels around the entire 120-by-120-foot building.  

Throughout the next several months, crews will finish the insulation; complete all electrical, fiber, plumbing and HVAC; paint the valves and pipe; and install epoxy flooring.  

The final two valves are yet to be installed in the valve house, but, after several delays, the valves are expected to be on site by early spring. These two valves will be installed using the 25-ton bridge crane that is inside the valve house. The valve house will be completed next spring and project managers anticipate beginning to fill the reservoir in July.
