샌디에고시가 MWH Global과 순수(純水) 샌디에고(Pure Water San Diego)의 관리 및 지원을 위한 계약을 공식적으로 체결했다. 이번 3천만 달러 규모의 계약은 Brown and Caldwell사와의 5개년 파트너십 하에 계획부터 실행까지 프로젝트를 운영하기 위한 프로그램 관리 서비스를 포함한다.

Pure Water San Diego는 샌디에고에 안전하고 믿을 수 있는, 비용 효율적인 식수 공급을 제공하기 위해 설계된 27억 달러 규모의 프로그램이다. 재사용수를 정화하는 입증된 기술을 사용하는 이 환경친화적 프로그램은 샌디에고를 더욱 ‘물 독립적’이고, 가뭄이나 기후변화 및 자연재해에 탄성을 가질 수 있도록 만들 것으로 기대된다.

샌디에고 공공시설부장 Halla Razak은 “Pure Water San Diego는 도시를 위한 장기적인, 믿을 만한 물 공급을 보장하기 위해 필요하다”며 “우리는 이번 프로그램의 실행에 있어 팀으로 긴밀하게 작업하는 것을 기대하고 있다”고 말했다. 프로그램은 2023년까지는 운영을 시작할 예정인 하루 1천500만 갤런 규모의 정수시설 계획을 포함한다.

 

 

 

The City of San Diego has officially awarded a contract to MWH Global, an engineering, consulting and construction firm focused on water and natural resources, to manage and assist in the delivery of Pure Water San Diego. In partnership with Brown and Caldwell, the initial five-year, $30-million contract includes program management services to move the project from planning into implementation.

 

Pure Water San Diego is an approximately $2.7-billion program designed to provide a safe, reliable and cost-effective drinking water supply for San Diego. Using proven technology to purify recycled water, the environmentally-friendly program will make San Diego more water independent and resilient against drought, climate change and natural disasters.

 

"Pure Water San Diego is needed to secure a long-term, reliable water supply for the city," said Halla Razak, City of San Diego Public Utilities Department director. "We look forward to working closely with the team on the implementation of this very critical program."

 

As part of the contract, which began in January 2015, the MWH and Brown and Caldwell team will provide strategic planning; project delivery; program controls; pre-design of conveyance and treatment facilities; design oversight/management; pilot testing of proposed technologies; regulatory permitting; outreach and public education; quality management; and risk mitigation services.

 

The program includes an initial 15-million-gallons-per-day (MGD) water purification facility, which is planned to be in operation by 2023. The long-term goal of producing 83 MGD of purified water -- one third of San Diego's future drinking water supply -- is planned to be reached by 2035. In addition, Pure Water San Diego will also greatly reduce the volume of treated wastewater discharged to the ocean.

 

"The City of San Diego is an innovative and forward-thinking community," said Julie L. Labonte, vice president and Pure Water program manager at MWH. "This program is vital to building a sustainable water supply in the region, and we are proud to work with the city on this cutting edge program."
