Seawater Desalination Facility

The Seawater Desalination Project is for construction of a 50 million gallon per day reverse osmosis seawater desalination facility; water transmission lines to connect to existing regional transmission system; and two off-site underground booster pump stations in Irvine and unincorporated portion of Orange County. It is located on an 11 acre lease area on AES generating station site at 21730 Newland (at Edison Way). The Recirculated Environmental Impact Report is available for public comment starting April 5th, 2005. For more information or a copy of the Environmental Impact Report, please contact Project Planner Ricky Ramos at 536-5624 or click on the links below.
