EPA Closes $251 Million WIFIA Loan for California Water Purification Facility
The EPA has finalized a $251 million Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan for the Las Virgenes-Triunfo Public Financing Authority. The funding will support an advanced water purification facility designed to treat wastewater for groundwater recharge.
The project, located in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, represents a major investment in water reuse technology. By treating wastewater to high standards, the facility will help the region bolster its drinking water supplies through managed aquifer recharge.
This WIFIA loan is part of a broader federal effort to provide low-cost, long-term financing for large-scale water infrastructure projects. The program is specifically designed to help public agencies tackle complex engineering challenges that might otherwise be cost-prohibitive.
This investment underscores the growing trend of water resource recovery, where wastewater is increasingly viewed as a valuable resource rather than a waste stream. The facility will play a critical role in the region's long-term drought resilience strategy.
