Jacobs selected as design-build contractor for California water project

Jacobs (J) has been selected by LA Sanitation and Environment as the progressive design-build contractor for the Donald C. Tillman Advanced Water Equalization Basins, another critical part of the City of Los Angeles’ long-term plans to increase recycled water production by 2035. The Donald C. Tillman Advanced Water Purification Facility, also being delivered by Jacobs, will depend on a constant, stable flow of primary effluent to produce purified water suitable for reuse through groundwater replenishment. The equalization basins, which can hold up to nine and a half million gallons of water, will regulate variable flows to the AWPF and support the optimal function of the facility’s advanced water treatment processes – as part of the Los Angeles Groundwater Replenishment Project.
