JPA Takes Next Step in Securing Local WaterProgressive design-build contract keeps the Pure Water Project on track. The JPA awarded a progressive design-build contract valued at over $21.4 million to complete design and initiate construction of the Pure Water Project Las Virgenes – Triunfo (Pure Water Project). The contract was awarded to a team of engineers and a general contractor that will design and eventually build the new Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF) and 14-mile long Reverse Osmosis Concentrate (ROC) Pipeline. The vote was unanimous. A selection committee was convened to evaluate proposals and select a firm for the JPA Board’s consideration. Walsh Construction Company, Brown and Caldwell, and Carollo Engineers were ultimately selected as the preferred team. |

Pipeline Study to Help Maintain Critical infrastructure
The Board of Directors for Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), the nation’s largest water wholesaler and LVMWD’s sole water provider, recently approved a $9.8 million contract for the Sepulveda Feeder Pump Stations Project. The project will help bring additional water from the Colorado River, as well as water stored at Diamond Valley Lake in Riverside County, to LVMWD. During the peak of the last drought, MWD reduced LVMWD’s supply allocation by a staggering 73%, which required major water use restrictions such as limiting outdoor watering to only one day per week. LVMWD, alongside several other State Water Project dependent agencies, have voiced their concerns to MWD about the lack of connectivity to other water sources. While there is much more work to be done, the approval of this contract demonstrates MWD’s commitment to water supply reliability at a regional level for all 26 member agencies. Design efforts for the project have commenced and construction is anticipated to begin in late 2024. For the full press release, scan the QR code or visit www.MWDH2O.com
