Ownership |
| Brackish Source Water Wells |
Between one and six vertical wells drilled in the 180-Foot Aquifer and between one and five slanted seawater intake wells. Vertical wells will be located west of Highway 1 between the coastal dunes and Highway 1. Source water will be approximately 85% seawater and 15% seawater-intruded groundwater. |
MCWRA |
| Brackish Source Water Pipeline |
Up to 25,000 linear feet (LF) of 36 to 42-inch pipe conveying the source water from the wells to the Desalination Plant, and a brackish water meter. |
MCWRA |
| Desalination Plant |
Reverse osmosis treatment plant with a peak production rate of 10 million gallons per day (mgd). On-site facilities include treatment processes, clearwells, brine storage tank, distribution pump station, and non-process structures. |
MCWD |
| MCWD Outfall Facilities and MRWPCA Outfall Facilities |
A pipeline for brine conveyance from the Desalination Plant to the outfall headworks (2,500 LF of 36-inch diameter pipeline) and modifications to the outfall pipeline, including a new Brine Receiving Facility for monitoring, metering, mixing, and sampling the Desalination brine and combined effluent. |

CAW |
| Terminal Reservoirs and Associated Facilities |
Two, 3-MG reservoirs, 130 feet in diameter, and overflow -retention/infiltration basin. |
CAW |
| ASR System |
Two ASR injection/extraction wells and a monitoring well located at Fitch Park, a pump station at the Terminal Reservoir site, pipelines along General Jim Moore Blvd. between the new ASR wells and the existing ASR wells near Coe Ave., and an ASR Pump-to-Waste System (including pipelines and a settling basin) currently proposed for the ASR well sites. |
CAW |
| Valley Greens Pump Station |
3-mgd capacity, four 25-hp pumps on 800 square foot area. |
CAW |
| Associated Project |
| Renewable Energy Facility |
6,000-kilowatt gas-driven engine generator facility and inter-connecting power distribution to power the Desalination Plant. Fuel will be combination of natural gas and landfill gas. |
