Metropolitan’s Pure Water Southern California
Persistent droughts and other stressors on the Colorado river basin are threatening the stability and long-term reliability of Southern California’s water sources. One solution? To build infrastructure that reuses wastewater to create a new source of reliable water for generations to come.
Pure Water Southern California (PWSC) represents a generational shift in Metropolitan Water District of Southern California’s (Metropolitan) approach to drinking water supply. Through Metropolitan’s partnership with the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, this project will create a sustainable water future that balances local water resources with imported supplies from the Colorado River.
We’ve been working with Metropolitan on this program since 2010, when we completed the Joint Groundwater Replenishment Study that laid this foundation. Our team has helped Metropolitan define the current configuration of PWSC and its major program elements including the design of the Advanced Purification Center (APC) demonstration facility. We served as their environmental planning consultant and engineer for the advanced water treatment facility.
Our team is also designing the direct potable reuse (DPR) facilities with a first-of-its-kind process, sending a new source of drinking water right into the taps. Each project is a step toward securing water for Southern California’s future.
