Company Profile:

The Alameda County Water District (ACWD), located in the San Francisco Bay Area, supplies water to a population of 320,000 people in the cities of Fremont, Newark, and Union City in southern Alameda County, California. ACWD’s mission of providing a reliable supply of high quality water at a reasonable price is met through advanced surface water treatment techniques such as ozonation-biological filtration at a state-of-the-art 21-mgd water treatment plant, and the use of ultrafiltration membranes in the upgrade of an existing 10-mgd water treatment plant to be completed in early 2004. In the spring of 2003, ACWD will also have a 5-mgd brackish water desalination plant on-line that is believed to be the first of its type in municipal water service in Northern California. Finally, by 2005, an 8-mgd groundwater treatment plant using RO membranes is expected to be in operation for demineralization and hardness reduction.

In April 2004, following extensive study and testing, SRWA inaugurated a state-of-the-art reverse osmosis plant. The 7.5 MGD facility turns brackish groundwater previously considered unusable into high quality drinking water for Brownsville Public Utilities Board, Port of Brownsville, Valley Municipal Utility District No. 2 (Rancho Viejo), Los Fresnos, and Indian Lake.

Company Profile:

Since 1933, Orange County Water District (OCWD) has replenished and maintained Orange County’s groundwater basin at safe levels while more than doubling the basin’s annual yield. Orange County’s groundwater basin supplies water to more than 20 cities and water agencies, serving more than 2.3 million Orange County residents. Since 1975, OCWD has operated Water Factory 21, a water purification plant that takes treated wastewater, purifies it to beyond drinking water standards, and then injects it into shallow aquifers near the coast to form a fresh water barrier, blocking seawater intrusion. OCWD is leading the way in purification of wastewater for reuse to provide a reliable, new, drought-proof source of water. The Groundwater Replenishment System, a proposed project sponsored by OCWD and the Orange County Sanitation District, will produce enough near distilled quality water for 200,000 families.
