Document Description
Pure Water Southern California (formerly called the Regional Recycled Water Program) is a proposed partnership between The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) and the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (Sanitation Districts) to beneficially reuse cleaned wastewater that currently is being discharged to the Pacific Ocean from the Sanitation Districts’ Joint Water Pollution Control Plant (JWPCP) in the city of Carson. The cleaned wastewater would be purified through a new Advanced Water Purification facility constructed on undeveloped property within the JWPCP to produce approximately 150 million gallons per day of purified water. This purified water would then be transported via new conveyance facilities as far north as the city of Azusa and as far east as the city of Upland to new or existing water distribution facilities. The purified water could be used to recharge the West Coast, Central, Main San Gabriel, and Orange County groundwater basins through spreading facilities and injection wells and to augment water supplies at water treatment plants owned and operated by Metropolitan in the cities of La Verne and Yorba Linda, by the Three Valleys Municipal Water District in the city of Claremont, and/or by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency in the city of Upland.
