SPECIAL FEATURES OF MEMBER AGENCY

Since the early 1990s, West Basin has established itself as a leader in water supply management because of its diverse mix of education, conservation, water recycling and desalination programs. The West Basin Water Recycling Facility, the largest facility of its type in the nation, provides billions of gallons of recycled water to users throughout southwest Los Angeles County. Since the fourth expansion of the facility, West Basin has partnered with the Water Replenishment District of Southern California to provide water for barrier injection to protect the groundwater wells from seawater intrusion. The West Basin Water Recycling Facility is also the home of West Basin's award-winning children's education program.
