EMWD hosts United States Army Corp of Engineers to celebrate groundwater well completion to bolster desalination program
On February, 13, 2018, EMWD and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (Army Corps) celebrated the completion of two new groundwater wells. These wells will provide service to EMWD’s groundwater desalination facility. A third well is in progress and will be completed in 2019.

The Army Corps funded 75 percent of the project costs and was the lead agency on the drilling and construction of the wells, which will be deeded to EMWD. EMWD’s groundwater desalination program helps reduce salinity levels in the region and protect and improve groundwater quality.

EMWD currently meets approximately five percent of its water demands through its desalination program. EMWD is in the design phase to add another desalination facility, which will be funded, in part, through state and federal grants.
