Pico Water District Groundwater PFAS Water Treatment Plant Projects – Well No. 5A

The Pico Water District is planning to install and operate an ion exchange treatment plant at Well 5A to address contamination from PFAS in its groundwater supply. This project aims to ensure the safety and compliance of drinking water by effectively removing harmful PFAS compounds, aligning with state and federal water quality standards. The initiative is part of broader efforts to secure clean, reliable water for the community in Pico Rivera, California, and reflects proactive measures to respond to emerging contaminants. The California State Water Resources Control Board is overseeing the initiative, with technical and operational coordination led by District Engineer Dmitriy Ginzburg and General Manager Joe Basulto. The project is listed as a forecast with a posted date of June 29, 2026, indicating it is in the planning or pre-procurement phase. The place of performance is clearly designated as Pico Rivera, with a zip code of 90660, and all activities will be conducted locally to serve the district’s water infrastructure. Contact information for both state and district representatives is provided to facilitate communication and coordination as the project moves toward implementation.
