Carpinteria Sanitary District

🪏Last week, alongside our partners at Carpinteria Valley Water District we broke ground on the Carpinteria Advanced Purification Project (CAPP), a landmark initiative designed to provide a drought-proof, locally controlled water supply for the community!

💦The project will recycle over 1 million gallons of water per day. That's about a quarter of Carpinteria’s annual water needs! 💦

By treating wastewater with proven, advanced technology and injecting the purified water into the Carpinteria Groundwater Basin, CAPP will create a reliable, year-round source that is resilient to drought conditions and climate change.🌎
