Sustainable Water Supply Tour

This 4-hour tour will take you through CVWD’s wastewater treatment plant in Palm Desert where approximately 9 million gallons of wastewater is processed daily. You will learn how CVWD recycles this water through a multi-step treatment process for outdoor irrigation on golf courses and other landscapes. You will also stop at one of our replenishment facilities where Colorado River water percolates into the groundwater basin replacing some of what valley consumers have used. Learn about the Mid-Valley Pump Station where water is pumped out of the Coachella Canal to the treatment plant where it is blended with recycled wastewater to supplement golf course irrigation needs. A visit to the Desert Willow Golf course is also included along with a discussion on how they exclusively use recycled water for irrigation.
