Replenishing the Local Water Supply

The facility will transform and enhance the region's water supply by:

  • Creating a new, local source of water for the community and  region
  • By replenishing the Bunker Hill Basin with recycled water, the region will be able to store hundreds of millions of gallons of water for dry years.
  • This effort creates an opportunity to assist with meeting both local water agencies' needs and environmental commitments.
