The Regional Surface Water Supply Project (RSWSP) is a collaborative effort that consists of multiple components, including a regional water treatment facility, raw water pipeline, and treated water transmission mains for both Ceres and Turlock. The RSWSP delivers a long-term, sustainable water source that allows for integrated use of groundwater and surface water and diversifies the water supply portfolios for both Ceres and Turlock.
The Project provides water from the Tuolumne River via an existing set of perforated pipelines installed in gravel about 8-feet below the bottom of the river bed (located just west of the Geer Road Bridge), an intake structure, and a raw water pump station and pipelines. Raw water from the pipelines is treated at the water treatment plant to drinking water standards, and then delivered to SRWA’s service areas for municipal and industrial uses. TID also uses the raw water facilities to deliver irrigation water to agricultural users.
