The City of Burbank (CA) Water and Power (BWP) Department received a $400,000 project grant from the Bureau of Reclamation under the Water Recycling and Desalination Construction Programs (CFDA 15.504) to conduct a 24-month feasibility study for a new potable reuse facility. The study will assess the feasibility, conduct facility planning, address environmental compliance, complete pre-final design, and engage the community for a new facility that will purify a portion of the city's recycled water for potable use. The project aims to maximize the beneficial use of 4.2 million gallons per day of recycled water, reduce the city's 100% dependence on imported water, and improve water supply reliability and sustainability in the face of climate change and drought. The feasibility study will culminate in a Title XVI-eligible report that will support the construction of the proposed potable reuse facility.
