Department of Water Resources (DWR) joined Zone 7 Water Agency to celebrate the completion of a new infrastructure project that will treat 6.6 million gallons of contaminated groundwater a day for communities in Pleasanton, Dublin and Livermore.
The Stoneridge Well facility was made possible through a $16 million grant from the Sustainable Groundwater Management grant program. Upon opening in September this year, the facility became the first of its kind in Northern California using ion exchange technology to remove Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from the water.
“The Stoneridge project will help improve both water quality and water supply reliability for the residents and businesses in the Tri-Valley,” said Zone 7 General Manager Valerie Pryor. “The DWR grant funds will offset the local cost of this critical infrastructure upgrade, returning our most productive groundwater well to service, and effectively removing these chemicals from our water. We are deeply grateful this partnership with DWR and the funds they have provided to support our sustainable groundwater use and help us to maintain healthy and safe drinking water for our community.”
The Zone 7 Board of Directors approved the Stoneridge Well upgrades in October of 2022 and construction took about seven months.
