The Water Replenishment District of the City of Downey will construct a new injection well to increase groundwater recharge within the source aquifer to improve local water resilience. Project benefits include reducing imported water use to maintain the Alitmos Barrier, increase water supply through groundwater recharge, and maximize re-use of recycled wastewater produced by the LA Sanitation Districts.

WRD Robert W. Goldsworthy Desalter Water Treatment Facility Improvement
In partnership with the Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD) and corporate sponsors, we supported the acquisition of a brackish water well to bolster regional water supply. The well is a component of the Torrance Groundwater Desalter Expansion Project (TGDE), which will use reverse osmosis to remove the salts from brackish groundwater and will provide high-quality drinking water to local water customers. This initiative is part of WRD’s Brackish Groundwater Reclamation Program, which seeks to optimize underutilized water resources and reduce dependence on imported water from the Colorado River and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
