Palmdale Water District: Pure Water Antelope Valley Advanced Water Purification Facility

The Pure Water Antelope Valley project is an advanced water purification initiative led by the Palmdale Water District in partnership with the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts to replenish the overdrafted Antelope Valley Groundwater Basin through indirect potable reuse. At its core is a new 20-acre Advanced Water Purification Facility in Palmdale that will treat tertiary effluent from the Palmdale Water Reclamation Plant using a multi-barrier process including low-pressure membrane filtration, reverse osmosis, ultraviolet light with advanced oxidation, and post-treatment stabilization to produce water meeting all state and federal drinking water standards. The initial phase is designed to process 4.75 million gallons per day, yielding approximately 4.1 million gallons per day of purified water, with infrastructure designed to support future expansion up to 10 million gallons per day. The purified water will be injected into the local aquifer via three injection wells monitored by six dedicated wells to ensure safe and sustainable groundwater replenishment, enhancing regional drought resilience and reducing reliance on imported water sources.
