LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER IS PARTNERING WITH LOS ANGELES SANITATION AND ENVIRONMENT TO DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT THE LOS ANGELES GROUNDWATER REPLENISHMENT PROJECT. THE PROJECT WILL PRODUCE PURIFIED RECYCLED WATER BY DIVERTING TERTIARY EFFLUENT FROM THE DONALD C. TILLMAN WATER RECLAMATION PLANT TO A NEW ADVANCED WATER PURIFICATION FACILITY USING MICROFILTRATION, REVERSE OSMOSIS, AND AN ULTRAVIOLET ADVANCED OXIDATION PROCESS. THE PURIFIED WATER WILL THEN BE DELIVERED TO THE HANSEN SPREADING GROUNDS TO REPLENISH THE SAN FERNANDO GROUNDWATER BASIN. THE PROJECT ONCE CONSTRUCTED WILL REDUCE DEPENDENCE ON IMPORTED WATER BY DELIVERING 20,600 ACREFEET PER YEAR OF RECYCLED WATER, ESTABLISHING A NEW LOCAL, AND DROUGHT TOLERANT WATER SUPPLY.
