Document Description
The proposed Baker Water Treatment Plant (WTP) would have a normal operating capacity of 43.5 cfs (28 mgd) and would treat raw water from variable supply sources. The proposed project would provide redundant treatment capacity to MWD's Diemer Treatment Plant on a regular basis and in the event of planned or unplanned outages of MWD facilities. The project would not increase the capacity of regional treated water distribution pipelines, but rather improve regional potable water system reliability and operational flexibility. The Baker WTP would provide treated water to IRWD and four partner water agencies in southern Orange County: El Toro Water District (ETWD), Moulton Niguel Water District (MNWD), Santa Margarita Water District (SMWD), and Trabuco Canyon Water District (TCWD). In addition to the Baker WTP, the proposed project also would include a new offsite Raw Water Pump Station near Peters Canyon Reservoir; a meter exchange and pipeline replacement at OC-33; a new sewer pipeline to convey non-reclaimable waste (NRW) from the Baker WTP to IRWD's sanitary sewer system; and may include new pipelines to convey treated water from the Baker WTP to the South County Pipeline.
