Buccaneer Sewer Lift Station and Force Main Project
Project Type: Water Recycling
Project Description
The Buccaneer Sewer Lift Station and Force Main Project will optimize and enhance the City's wastewater system by redirecting sewage flows from the aging La Salina Wastewater Treatment Plant to the existing San Luis Rey Water Reclamation Facility for treatment and injection into the Mission Groundwater Basin. The purpose of the project is to increase the local production of potable and recycled water to enhance supply reliability and reduce imported water purchases. The additional flows will support the production of up to 6,720 acre feet per year (AFY) of full advanced treated water that will be injected into the basin. Also, the increased flows will increase the amount of digester gas produced that is converted to electricity and heat for use at the plant.
