Pure Water Antelope Valley

The Pure Water Antelope Valley project is a regional water augmentation initiative led by the Palmdale Water District to enhance local water supplies through indirect potable reuse via groundwater replenishment. The project involves the construction and operation of an Advanced Water Purification Facility that will treat tertiary wastewater using advanced processes including microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and ultraviolet/advanced oxidation to produce water compliant with all state and federal drinking water standards. The facility is designed in two phases: Phase 1 will treat 4.75 million gallons per day, with ultimate capacity reaching 10 million gallons per day. The purified water will be injected into the Antelope Valley groundwater basin to supplement existing sources, ensuring long-term water reliability for the region. Construction activities include linear grading, drainage and utility installation, building construction, and paving, with key milestones spanning from late 2027 through early 2030. The project site is located in Palmdale, California, at a 20-acre parcel bounded by 25th St E and 27th St E, near Ave Q, adjacent to the Palmdale Water Reclamation Plant. Environmental compliance is a central component of the project, with oversight mandated by the State Water Resources Control Board and the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board. Contractors must adhere to stringent operational requirements including biological monitoring during construction, wildlife avoidance protocols, hazardous materials management, noise and vibration controls, and strict work hour limitations. All activities must comply with CCR Title 13 idling restrictions and USEPA equipment efficiency standards. Documentation supporting the project includes appendices with figures, wetland data sheets, and a photo log, while public input was solicited through a designated review period in late 2025. Submission of proposals required both electronic PDF and 15 hardcopy versions, filed with the State Clearinghouse in Sacramento. While the contract includes detailed construction and environmental obligations, no formal contract clauses, pricing data, payment information, acquisition regulations, or contractor certifications were provided in the available documentation. The Palmdale Water District serves as the lead agency, with Scott Rogers as the primary point of contact for coordination, though no contracting officer, technical representative, or payment office details are specified.
