Del Valle Water Treatment Plant

The Del Valle Water Treatment Plant has been serving the Tri-Valley community since the 1970s and was recently upgraded to add raw water ozonation to the existing treatment process. The ozonation project is the latest investment by Zone 7 to support the continued delivery of high-quality water to Zone 7 customers.

Patterson Pass Water Treatment Plant

The Patterson Pass Water Treatment Plant has been serving the Tri-Valley since 1962, treating imported surface water from the adjacent South Bay Aqueduct using dual-media filtration and chlorine treatment techniques. The plant has recently been upgraded to add ozone treatment.  The plant capacity has also been expanded from 12 million gallons per day (mgd) to 24 mgd.
