The Eastern Municipal Water District received a $110,000,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Water Recycling and Desalination Construction Programs (CFDA 15.504). The funding will support the district's Purified Water Replenishment Project, which aims to fully utilize recycled water in its service area to create new local potable water supplies and improve supply reliability. Key project components include infrastructure to convey recycled water from a regional treatment facility to groundwater recharge ponds, as well as an advanced water treatment facility to provide additional treatment prior to groundwater recharge. The project will have an ultimate capacity of 15,000 acre-feet per year of potable water by 2035. The federal grant award will fund the preliminary design, final design, and construction phases of this water recycling and groundwater recharge initiative.
