Document Description
The project being considered for approval by the Western Municipal Water District (WMWD or District) is the installation of the two RO treatment trains and support facilities. These two new RO treatment trains will be integrated into the existing treatment system at the Chino II Desalter. New cartridge filters and a third decarbonation unit will also be installed. All of these facility modifications will occur within existing structures or within the Chino II Desalter footprint. No new undisturbed areas will be impacted by the proposed project as all facilities will occur within the graded footprint of the Chino II Desalter facility. Existing pipelines and other facilities have been sized to accommodate the proposed treatment of an additional 10.5 mgd of raw water that will be delivered to the Desalter from existing wells and future wells that remain to be developed.
