A new project that will provide more than 40 percent of the city of San Diego's water supply by the end of 2035 has been announced.
The City of San Diego is using proven water purification technology to clean recycled water and produce safe, high-quality drinking water while reducing the amount of treated water discharged into the ocean. This treatment will provide a reliable, sustainable water supply and reduce the city's dependence on imported water.
Northwest Pipe Co. has been selected to manufacture steel pipe for the North City Pure Water Pipeline, which is a critical component of Phase 1. When complete, the 7.54-mile pipeline will transport 30 million gallons per day of recycled water from Morena Pump Station to the Miramar Reservoir, where it will mix with imported and local water. The city will treat the water again before use.
The company is using more than 3,220 tons of steel to manufacture the 48-inch diameter engineered steel pipeline. Long Beach, Ca
