Mesa Water District in US achieves 100% water reliability

The Mesa Water District in the US state of California has completed the improvement work on its water facility and has achieved 100%local water reliability.

The agency is now able to meet 100% of its customers’ water needs with local water supplies and without depending on any other sources.

The Mesa Water Reliability Facility (MWRF) has been upgraded to produce enough water to meet the water demand in the district.

Mesa Water Board of Directors president James R Fisler said it was a long-standing vision of the board to make Mesa Water self reliant and self-sufficient.

"Being able to serve all of its customers’ water needs with local water supplies is a significant and unique achievement for a southern California water agency, and the largest accomplishment in Mesa Water’s history since its formation in 1960," Fisler added.

The water agency completed the improvement work on the MWRF in two years, and within the allotted budget to increase the water treatment capacity.

MWRF uses modern nanofiltration technology to treat amber-tinted water, sourced from a deep underground aquifer and to produce clear water.

Other benefits of the upgrade facility include groundwater cleanup by keeping the amber water away from migrating into the clear water basin, reducing energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and carbon footprint to almost half.

The facility also guarantee drought-proof water supply for the Mesa Water’s service area, import water supply for other Southland municipalities and water agencies that depend on that source and control water affordability.
