2021➡️2026. From an empty lot to an engineering marvel. ⛓

There’s no better week to show what infrastructure actually looks like than .

Meet the Morena Pump Station—built from the ground up. With crews building multiple levels, site buildings, and underground infrastructure. 🏗️✨

Once complete, this facility will divert 30 million gallons of wastewater per day for purification as part of the Pure Water Program. San Diego’s water future is looking bright! 🌟

This Week, we celebrate the visionary public works professionals behind Pure Water San Diego, one of the most ambitious and innovation water recycling programs in the nation. Built right here in our Fine City. 🏗️💧☀️

This , take a look at the secondary clarifiers built from the ground up at the North City Water Reclamation Plant—an essential part of San Diego’s Pure Water Program. 💧

These new facilities play a critical role in transforming wastewater into one of the region’s cleanest water sources. Pure. Local. Sustainable. 🌱

Morena South & Middle Alert 🚧

Oh May! We are starting off the month strong. 💪

Last week, crews completed the second remaining connection point at Clairemont & Erie St. This is a major project milestone—linking the remaining segments of the South & Middle and completing approximately seven miles of 48-inch and 30-inch cement mortar-lined pipe. 🛠️

2 down, 1 to go! ✅🏁

Happy San Diego! ☀️

Protecting our planet is important and we are proud to be shaping a sustainable water future in San Diego. The Pure Water program reuses and recycles one of Earth’s most precious resources: water! 🌎💧

April is Earthquake Preparedness Month! Did you know the Pure Water Program will better prepare San Diego in case of an earthquake by creating a local water supply? 💧

Most of our water supply is imported from Northern California and the Colorado River, delivered over hundreds of miles through aqueducts. Some of these aqueducts cross major fault lines, making them vulnerable to disruption in the event of a severe earthquake.

Pure Water San Diego puts every drop through a rigorous, multi-barrier purification process:

🔵Ozonation breaks down organic matter and contaminants.
🌿Biological Activated Carbon filters let nature finish the job naturally
🔬Membrane filtration blocks bacteria, viruses, and microscopic particles invisible to the human eye.
⚗️Reverse Osmosis strips away dissolved chemicals, salts & pharmaceuticals with high pressures
☀️UV & Advanced Oxidation delivers the final blow—destroying any remaining trace compounds

✅The result? Water that exceeds state & federal drinking water standards.

This —trust the process. Share the facts. 🔁💧

Pure Water San Diego is leading the way by creating a local, sustainable drinking water supply that our entire community can count on. This , let’s celebrate the dedicated teams working every day to ensure San Diego has a safe, sustainable, and locally sourced water for the future. 💙💪💧
