From Water & Wastewater.com:

A common problem facing cities across the U.S. in the first part of the 21st century is the deterioration of water and wastewater infrastructure. Specifically, potable and non-potable water tanks all over the country are in dire need of rehabilitation. In 2007, the City of San Diego along with consulting engineering firm, Simon Wong Engineering, concluded that the existing concrete roof on the Rancho Bernardo Reservoir was in need of replacement.

Temcor was subcontracted to design, fabricate and erect a maintenance-free aluminum roof cover. The massive aluminum roof, 250′ x 320′, covering nearly two acres, is supported by 72 stainless steel columns (provided by Temcor). The roof stands at a mere 6ft from the top of tank to the top of the roof ridge. A permanent non-glare (sandblast) finish was also incorporated into the aesthetic aspect of the design. The cover fits in well within the surrounding environment.
