Officials Dedicate States Largest Ultraviolet Water Treatment Facility
San Francisco Public Utilities Commission General Manager Ed Harrington, joined by state and federal officials, this week dedicated the newly constructed, $114-million Tesla Water Treatment Facility in Tracy.
With a capacity of 315 million gallons per day (mgd), the new Tesla plant is the largest water UV facility in California and the third largest in North America. The SFPUC says this facility is being commissioned nine months before the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency establishes a new requirement for a second disinfectant for all unfiltered drinking water systems in the nation.
