The North City Water Reclamation Plant (NCWRP) is the first large-scale water reclamation plant in San Diego's history and part of the single largest sewerage system expansion in the area in more than 35 years. This facility can treat up to 30 million gallons of waste water per day which is generated by northern San Diego communities. Waste water entering the plant undergoes a series of treatment and purifying steps using the latest technologies to supplement the water supply of the region.
PURE WATER SAN DIEGO
Pure Water San Diego is the City’s 20-year program to provide a safe, reliable and cost-effective drinking water supply for San Diego. This program components include the construction of water purification facilities, continued operation of the test Advanced Water Purification Facility, research on additional treatment barriers for a potential direct potable reuse project, regulation and legislation development, and an education and outreach program. An initial 15-million gallon per day water purification facility is planned to be in operation by 2023. The long term goal, producing 83 million gallons of purified water per day (one third of San Diego's future drinking water supply), is planned to be reached by 2035.
