Plant/Process Description:
The City's new water treatment plant and Public
Works facility opened Wednesday, June 25, 2003.
The facility is located on Foothill Road between
Civic Center Drive and Third Street.
In 1928 the City recognized the need to increase
its water supply reliability to meet growth by
purchasing the Sherman Water Company. The same
year, the City became a member agency of the
Metropolitan Water District (MWD).
In 1941, the City began to accept delivery of
imported water from MWD. Between 1941 and 1976
the City supplemented its water supply by
treatment of groundwater but in 1976 the City
officially ceased the development and production
of the local water resources due to economics,
and became 100% reliant on imported water
purchased from the MWD.
In 1997, by City Council direction, the Public
Works Department began to explore the
possibilities of local water development and
started soliciting bids from qualified companies
to develop a water treatment plant and ground
water pumping operations. New legislation was
enacted permitting public-private partnerships
enabling Design, Build, Operate and Finance
(DBOF) contracts.
The City of Beverly Hills and Earth Tech entered
into a multi-year agreement in February 2001.
Earth Tech developed a design of a water
treatment plant and public works facility
according to the city’s criteria and will build,
operate and finance that facility for a minimum
of five years up to 20 years with options for the
City to purchase or take ownership of the
facility after five years.
The City will purchase water from Earth Tech.
With a subsidy from MWD, the cost of the purchase
will equal to current rates of water purchases
from MWD.
