The Biden administration announced $179 million for wastewater recycling projects, boosting plans to build the nation's largest plant in Southern California.
The Biden administration has announced that Southern California’s plan to build the largest wastewater recycling plant in the nation will be supported by $99.2 million in federal funds, an investment that officials said represents a down payment toward making the region more resilient to the effects of climate change. The proposed facility, called Pure Water Southern California, is projected to cost $8 billion.
Alex Padilla said this type of project is vital for the entire western United States as climate change increases strains on limited water supplies. “Our fates are interconnected because our water infrastructure is interconnected,” Padilla said, noting that Southwestern states have a common interest in reducing reliance on the shrinking supply from the Colorado River. “Recycling is part of the bucket. California has shown that we can do it, and we can do it well,” Padilla said.
