Pure Water Soquel Project Meeting December 18th!

December 14, 2018 by Seb Frey

Soquel Creek Water District

Mark your calendar for the next meeting about Groundwater replenishment and seawater intrusion prevention project (aka the Pure Water Sequel Project). Please plan to attend the public Soquel Creek Water District board meeting on December 18th at 6:00 pm at the Capitola City Chambers – 420 Capitola Ave. Capitola, CA.

Pure Water Soquel is a project of  groundwater replenishment and seawater intrusion prevention. This project will help recycle water for replenishing the groundwater basin and protecting against seawater intrusion using advance water purification methods.

Methods can vary, but many systems use water purification that includes three processes: micro-filtration, reverse osmosis, and ultraviolet light/advanced oxidation.
