Patterson Pass Water Treatment Plant

Post

The Patterson Pass Water Treatment Plant has been serving the Tri-Valley since 1962, treating imported surface water from the adjacent South Bay Aqueduct using dual-media filtration and chlorine treatment techniques. The plant has recently been upgraded to add ozone treatment.  The plant capacity has also been expanded from 12 million gallons per day (mgd) to 24 mgd.

In June of 2022, the plant completed major construction upgrades and now offers ozone treatment along with other major enhancements.

The plant’s upgrades have improved treated water quality with the added ozone facilities, replacement of aging equipment, increased treated water storage capacity with the addition of a new five-million-gallon tank and now doubled the amount of treated water the plant can produce from 12 million gallons of water a day to 24 million gallons a day (MGD).
