Inframark to manage West Basin, Calif. recycled water system

Today, Inframark LLC announced that it was selected for a three-year agreement with the West Basin Municipal Water District, located in Carson, Calif., for the operations and maintenance of the District’s recycled water distribution system.

The system consists of more than 100 miles of distribution lines, including 85 miles of large diameter recycled water distribution piping, a secondary effluent line from the City of Los Angeles’ Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant, and a five-mile-long brine disposal line, as well as associated pumping stations and disinfection systems. The West Basin system serves a variety of users in the service area, including municipal and local industrial needs.

Inframark has operated water and wastewater treatment plants in California for more than 25 years. The addition of West Basin builds on Inframark’s growing presence in the state. Notably, Inframark manages over 400 miles of distribution system in Southern California, half of which transports recycled wastewater to municipal and industrial clients for ground water recharge as well as industrial purposes.

West Basin Board President Harold C. Williams, MSCE, P.E., added, “This new agreement will ensure the continued, effective operation and maintenance of the West Basin recycled water distribution system. Recycled water is more important than ever as the state and region faces worsening drought conditions.”
