Parties renew 5-year agreement for
comprehensive operations and maintenance of internationally
acclaimed water recycling program
United Water, one of the leading providers of water and
wastewater services in the nation, today announced the signing of a
new five-year agreement worth approximately $50 million with the
West Basin Municipal Water District (West Basin) to operate and
maintain the District’s Edward C. Little Water Recycling Plant and
four satellite plants. Together the facilities comprise one of the
most unique water recycling operations of its kind in the world. It
is the only public agency recycling facility in the world that
produces five different types of usable water out of
wastewater.
“The renewal of our contract shows the good working relationship
between United Water and West Basin and high level of trust we
accord each other,” said Bertrand Camus, chief executive officer of
United Water. “We have been partners for two decades – working
together to conserve and preserve potable water supplies in
southern California.”
The partnership saves precious water supplies in one of the
nation’s most drought-prone regions, and contributes to good
environmental stewardship by reducing the amount of wastewater
discharged to the Santa Monica Bay each day.
“Recycling is a key part of our Water Reliability 2020 program,
which will provide us with more locally-controlled, sustainable and
reliable supplies of water in the future. We appreciate United
Water’s operating capabilities in partnership with our West Basin
personnel,” said Carol W. Kwan, president of the West Basin
Municipal Water District Board of Directors. “Our water supply is
our most precious resource, and the partnership with United Water
has allowed us to continue to expand our water recycling program
and provide more quality recycled water to our communities.”
The Edward C. Little Water Recycling Facility produces over 40
million gallons of water every day for industrial and other uses.
The plant produces approximately 12 million gallons a day of highly
purified in direct drinking water for use in a seawater intrusion
barrier water that protects local groundwater from seawater
intrusion and also augments local groundwater supplies.
The Edward C. Little Water Recycling Facility was recognized by
the National Water Research Institute in 2002 as one of only six
National Centers for Water Treatment Technologies.
The West Basin plant is the only treatment facility in the
country that produces five different qualities of “designer” or
custom-made recycled water that meet the unique needs of West
Basin’s municipal, commercial and industrial customers. Those
recycled waters include: irrigation water, cooling tower water, low
pressure boiler feed water, high pressure boiler feed water and
indirect drinking water.
“We are excited about continuing our role in supporting the
innovative work being done by the West Basin Municipal Water
District,” said Nadine Leslie, president of United Water
Environmental Services. “We share their mission and their vision
and are committed to helping West Basin meet their Water
Reliability 2020 goals.”
