Water, wastewater and power infrastructure for California

Los Angeles Basin

Los Angeles and Orange Counties

Southern California imports much of its water and is building more local supply through recycled water, groundwater recharge and desalination. Ports, entertainment, aerospace and dense urban sites make compact, high-quality treatment and resilient power priorities.

Los Angeles · Long Beach · Anaheim · Irvine

Inland Empire

Riverside and San Bernardino Counties

The Inland Empire is one of the largest logistics and warehousing hubs in the country, with groundwater basins that carry salts and contaminants and new wastewater regulations on dairy and food processors. Recycled water and brackish groundwater treatment are expanding fast.

Riverside · San Bernardino

San Diego and the Border Region

San Diego County

San Diego County imports most of its water and has diversified with the Carlsbad seawater desalination plant and an expanding potable reuse program. Biotech, defense, the Navy and a binational border economy keep demand for treatment, reuse and resilient power high.

San Diego · Carlsbad

San Francisco Bay Area

San Francisco, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo and Contra Costa Counties

The Bay Area has strict nutrient and discharge limits for San Francisco Bay, active recycled water programs and one of the densest concentrations of technology and data center load in the world. Aging wastewater plants are in an extended upgrade cycle.

San Jose · San Francisco · Oakland

Central Valley (San Joaquin Valley)

Fresno, Kern, Tulare, Kings, Madera, Merced and Stanislaus Counties

The San Joaquin Valley is the heart of California agriculture, with nitrate and salinity problems in groundwater, many small disadvantaged communities, and groundwater pumping now limited under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. Food processors and small utilities need treatment that is dependable and simple to run.

Sacramento Valley and Northern California

Sacramento, Yolo, Sutter, Butte and Shasta Counties

The Sacramento Valley and northern foothills combine state-capital growth, rice and orchard agriculture and wildfire-exposed rural communities. Utilities are rebuilding after fire seasons and adding reuse, while remote sites need power that does not depend on a single grid line.

Sacramento

Central Coast

Monterey, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties

The Central Coast depends on constrained groundwater basins affected by seawater intrusion and nitrates, and it is the nation’s “salad bowl” for fresh-cut produce. Growers, processors and coastal communities use desalination, reuse and advanced treatment to protect supply.

Salinas · Santa Barbara

Coachella and Imperial Valleys

Riverside County east of the San Gorgonio Pass, and Imperial County

The desert valleys rely on the Colorado River and on groundwater that is high in salinity, and the Salton Sea region is a focus for geothermal and lithium development. Resorts, date and vegetable growers, and small unincorporated communities need arid-climate treatment and resilient power.

Palm Springs

North Coast and Sierra Foothills

Sonoma, Mendocino, Humboldt, Nevada and Placer Counties

Northern California’s coastal and foothill communities depend on small utilities and rural wastewater systems, with wineries, timber and tourism adding seasonal peaks. Wildfire and power shutoffs make on-site generation and storage a regular part of project scopes.
