Soquel Creek Water District finishes Pure Water Soquel construction
The pipes are in, the filters are primed and the water is almost ready to flow at the Soquel Creek Water District’s Pure Water Soquel facility in Live Oak. Although the faucets won’t be turned on until early next year, the new facility’s nearly three-year construction effort was capped off Thursday at a ribbon cutting ceremony hosted by district officials and featuring keynote addresses from a slough of regional, state and federal dignitaries. A decade in the making, the roughly $180 million facility is an integral part of the district’s effort to bring the Santa Cruz Mid-County Groundwater Basin–the sole freshwater resource for its 40,600 customers–into sustainability by 2040.
