October 2017 ASCE San Jose Branch-Monterey Bay Sub-Branch Joint Dinner

Pure Water Monterey Project:

Monterey One Water (previously Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency) and the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District have partnered to create Pure Water Monterey. This is a first-of-its-kind potable reuse project because it utilizes different sources of water; including municipal wastewater, impaired agricultural drainage, food processing wastewater, surface water and storm water runoff. Purified water will be used to recharge the Seaside Groundwater Basin and create a new alternative source of sustainable water supply.

Pure Water Monterey will be the first active indirect potable reuse project in Northern California with water delivery scheduled for mid-2019.  This presentation will provide an overview of the Pure Water Monterey Project, describe the fast-track project approach including: pre-procurement of major equipment, parallel and coordinated design; workshops with 3-D models to facilitate decisions and reduce project schedule, and highlight the outcomes and lessons learned from the design of the AWPF, Pump Station, Conveyance Pipeline System and Injection Well Facilities.
