EPA Awards $251 Million WIFIA Loan for California Water Reuse Project

EPA Awards $251 Million WIFIA Loan for California Water Reuse Project

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has granted a $251 million Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan to the Las Virgenes-Triunfo Public Financing Authority in California. This funding is designated for the Pure Water Project, which involves constructing an advanced water purification facility. This facility will treat recycled water for approximately 105,000 customers in the Las Virgenes-Conejo region of Los Angeles and Ventura counties. The project aims to establish the region's first local water supply, enhance system reliability, and increase capacity. It is also designed to reduce the area's dependence on imported water from Northern California, thereby improving drought resilience and emergency response capabilities. The EPA notes that this reduction in demand could also benefit agricultural users in Central California by increasing water availability.

Corpus Christi Water Temporarily Removes Mary Rhodes Pipeline for Leak Repairs

Corpus Christi Water Temporarily Removes Mary Rhodes Pipeline for Leak Repairs

Corpus Christi Water (CCW) has temporarily removed the Mary Rhodes Pipeline (MRP) from service due due to a detected leak. The leak is located near Highways 77 and 239, south of the San Antonio River, approximately halfway along the 101-mile pipeline. This pipeline is crucial as it transports water from Lake Texana to the O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant (ONSWTP). CCW crews and contractors are actively working to identify the full extent of the issue and have made progress in dewatering both the project site and the pipeline. Once the excavation around the 64-inch pipeline is safe to access, repair operations will commence. In the interim, CCW has increased water production from the Nueces Groundwater Wells and boosted water releases from the Wesley Seale Dam to ONSWTP to maintain water supply.
