Officials and staff with the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) held a groundbreaking ceremony last week on the $250 million expansion of the Regional Water Reclamation Facility (RWRF).
“The expansion of the Elsinore Regional Water Reclamation Facility is a critical step towards securing our state’s water future,” said Joe Karkoski, Deputy Director of the State Water Board’s Division of Financial Assistance. “Reducing water use and recycling wherever is possible is paramount as California moves into a hotter and drier climate.”
The RWRF which currently processes 8 million gallons per day will be able to process up to an additional 4 million gallons per day (mgd) once the expansion is completed.
The RWRF Expansion Project encompasses critical components like odor control mechanisms, added UV light disinfection, efficient biosolids handling, influent pump station expansion, fine bar screens, and headworks expansion. The project is slated for completion in 2027.
