PURIFIED WATER REPLENISHMENT: HELPING TO ENSURE YOUR WATER SUPPLY FUTURE
EMWD's planned Purified Water Replenishment (PWR) project is part of EMWD’s Groundwater Reliability Plus program to improve the quality and quantity of water in local groundwater basins.

PWR includes recharging a blend of advanced treated water (purified water) and recycled water into the ponds at the Mountain Avenue West Groundwater Replenishment Facility.

Planned facilities include an advanced treatment facility adjacent to the San Jacinto Valley Regional Water Reclamation Facility, brine evaporation ponds, groundwater wells, replenishment ponds, and new conveyance pipelines for water delivery. When working together, these facilities all play an important role in providing our region with a safe and reliable water supply future and improving groundwater quality.

You can learn more about our PWR program by visiting our PWR Open House on October 15, 2022. This free event will take place from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at our headquarters, located at 2270 Trumble Road, Perris, CA.
