About Pure Water San Diego

Pure Water San Diego is the City of San Diego’s phased, multi-year program that will provide nearly half of San Diego’s water supply locally. Pure Water San Diego will use proven water purification technology to clean recycled water to produce safe, high-quality drinking water. The Program offers a cost-effective investment for San Diego’s water needs and will provide a reliable, sustainable water supply.

Phase 1 includes several projects that will clean recycled water to produce 30 million gallons per day (mgd) of high-quality purified water, reducing the City of San Diego’s dependence on imported water.

Funding for these projects have been provided in part by Proposition 68, through an agreement with the State Water Resources Control Board and the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act through an agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
