The Biden administration announced $179 million for wastewater recycling projects, boosting plans to build the nation's largest plant in Southern California.
The water recycling project was designed so that even as purified water is piped away, a stream of treated wastewater will still flow to sustain the L.A. River and its wildlife habitat, Gonzalez said.
The MWD’s recycling project, as well as Los Angeles’ Operation Next and San Diego’s Pure Water, will dramatically increase the use of recycled water once they are built out, Upadhyay said.
