LPVCWD extracts and treats groundwater at the facility and delivers it to the community as potable water. LPVCWD has decided to
add a treatment process at the facility to mitigate increasing concentrations of nitrate in the groundwater that are approaching the
maximum allowable level for potable water. The project will add an ion exchange treatment process to the existing facility, to remove
nitrate from the extracted groundwater. Beneficiaries will include the potable water customers of LPVCWD.
