Alta Irrigation District to develop major groundwater recharge basins
Alta Irrigation District has purchased 80 acres to develop the London West Pond recharge basin. The recharge basin will be located at Ave. 384 and Rd. 56 next to the existing London Pond recharge site. … Both groundwater recharge basins will help Alta divert more surface water and boost its groundwater sustainability efforts to comply with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. Alta said the basins will increase the available water supply during dry years for growers and also support nearby residents who are reliant on groundwater for drinking water.
