Long Beach injection well designed to increase groundwater supply
Construction recently began on a well designed to inject water back into the groundwater basin beneath Long Beach. The groundbreaking last week took place at the Water Replenishment District’s advanced water treatment facility, on the southeastern border of Long Beach, next to the San Gabriel River. The plant further treats sewer effluent from the Los Angeles County Sanitation District to create purified recycled water. Recycled water already is used for irrigation and in other wells to form a barrier against salt water so it won’t get into the ground water basin.
