Palmdale Water District’s new AWT facility completes design phase
The design phase for the Advanced Water Treatment (AWT) demonstration facility, part of the Palmdale Water District’s Pure Water Antelope Valley programme in the US, has been finalised. Stantec, the lead designer, announced that construction is scheduled to commence in the upcoming mid-year period, following a ground-breaking ceremony held in June. The demonstration facility will function as a hub for public education, treatment assessment, data acquisition, and regulatory compliance. Over a 12-month period, the data collected will guide the design of a larger 5 MGD AWT facility, which is poised to become a component of the Pure Water Antelope Valley initiative. This full-scale facility aims to generate around five million gallons per day of drinking water by treating tertiary effluent from the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts’ Palmdale Water Reclamation Plant.
