Project Spotlight

Glorietta Wells Project

Glendale Water & Power has completed the construction on a water system treatment improvement project in the area of the Glorietta Park Reservoirs. The treating of water has not begun because GWP is waiting on a permit from the California Department of Health Services. This project will enhance the water quality for all our customers receiving water from the Glorietta Reservoir, including the northern portions of Glendale. The construction activity primarily took place north of Glorietta Avenue between Rustic Lane and Verdugo Road in the park area and resulted in a new chemical injection building at the intersection of Glorietta Ave and Rustic Lane. Work also occur at the Glorietta Park Pump Station resulting in bring the building up to present day fire codes. The improvement to the Pump Station included a new roof, an addition for chemical storage, Fire Department approved chemical storage system and state of art electronic control system. The Pump Station and the chemical injection building were connected with casing pipes for the chemical lines and conduits for the controls. The only visible feature on the chemical lines is a bridge over the Verdugo Wash.

Glendale's water supply meets all current regulatory requirements as set by the US Environmental Protection Agency USEPA). However, the USEPA has issued new requirements concerning disinfection byproducts which take effect in 2012. This project by GWP upgrades its treatment facilities at Glorietta to insure that our water supply continues to meet all regulations. The Project treats well water from the three Glorietta wells with chloramines so that it will match the same chloramine disinfectants used by Metropolitan Water District (MWD). This will allow for better blending of the two sources in Glorietta Reservoir and improve both operations and water quality.
