Document Description
The Groundwater Sustainability Project (GSP; proposed project) is an Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) project that would allow the City of Tehachapi (City) to increase local water supply, maximize recycled water use, improve water quality to support higher levels of recycled water, and decrease reliance on imported water. The GSP would construct new facilities at the City’s existing Tehachapi Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to produce tertiary-treated recycled water, upgrade the effluent pump station at the WWTP, construct a new pump station at the Borrow Pit, construct a new transmission pipeline to convey recycled water from the Borrow Pit to Blackburn Dam, and construct new spreading grounds at Blackburn Dam to allow for recharge of the tertiary-treated recycled water into the local Tehachapi Groundwater Basin. The recharged water would be extracted at existing domestic supply wells at a later date.
