Jacobs advances LA groundwater replenishment with new basin project
(UI) — Jacobs has been selected by LA Sanitation and Environment (LASAN) to design and build the Donald C. Tillman Advanced Water Equalization Basins in Los Angeles. This project supports the city’s plan to boost recycled water production by 2035.
The new equalization basins, capable of holding up to nine and a half million gallons, will regulate water flow into the Donald C. Tillman Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF), another project Jacobs is delivering.
The basins will ensure a steady supply of treated water, which will be purified for reuse in groundwater replenishment. The basins are a key component of the Los Angeles Groundwater Replenishment Project, which is essential to increasing the city’s sustainable water supply.
"Managing limited water resources is a critical focus for California communities and for Jacobs," said Jacobs Vice President of Design-Build Greg Fischer. "Our work with LASAN and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power on this project will help provide a sustainable and resilient local drinking water supply for Angelinos."
Jacobs will oversee the project under a progressive design-build contract, handling the design, permitting, construction, and commissioning phases. Kiewit will serve as the lead contracting partner. Jacobs' work at the Donald C. Tillman site, which includes the AWPF, electrical upgrades, and educational facilities, is part of contracts estimated to total $740 million.
Jacobs has contributed to other critical infrastructure across California, including the Los Angeles World Airports Capital Improvement Program and the Port of San Francisco Waterfront Resilience Program.
