Tamarack, Potable and Irrigation Water System
Tamarack Resort is located on the West Mountain side of Lake Cascade near Donnelly, Idaho and varies in elevation from 4,840 to 5,280 feet. The ski hill continues up to an elevation of 7,640 feet. This elevation change required a unique five-pressure zone water system. The five-story resort condominium building required water delivery pressure of 90 psi for fire protection.
