Regional Brackish Water Reclamation Program
A regional effort to create a new potable water supply and expand groundwater storage capacity through brackish groundwater desalination
WRD's Regional Brackish Water Reclamation Program will create a new drinking water supply in Southern Los Angeles County by treating salty groundwater with state-of-the-art technology.
Program Details:
- Collaborative stakeholder approach optimizes the use of available local water resources in the region
- Will provide up to 20,000 acre-feet each year of fresh, drinking-quality water to local water customers (over 18 million gallons each day)
