Building something that will last for generations means thinking ahead on climate preparedness. One way we’re doing this is by piping water to a 900,000 gallon reservoir.
In this video, taken by , our team is fusing the piping that will carry water across the resort to our fire reservoir, one more piece of the groundwork that lets us be an additional resource for our neighbors and Tulare County.
These pipes aren't glued, threaded, or bolted together. They're fused, heated to 400–500°F until the pipe goes molten, then pressed together until the two pieces become one continuous line.
The fused joint actually becomes stronger than the pipe itself, built to hold up through pressure, heat, and shifting ground for decades.
Water in the fire reserve then overflows into our irrigation system to feed our gardens and landscaping too, keeping the land greener and more moisture-rich, which only adds another layer of natural protection to the property.
This new large fire line is one step in many that we have put our focus and attention on in the rebuild, because preparation that lets us meet fire season from a place of readiness instead of reaction is another resource for the entire county to rely on.
