Desalination Plant in San Quintin, Baja California
The proposed project consists of the design, construction, and operation of a desalination plant with a production capacity of 250 liters per second (LPs) or 5.7 million gallons per day (mgd) (the “Project”). The Project includes an arrangement of seven wells for seawater intake (6 for operation, 1 reserve), an 8.4-kilometer (5.22- mile) seawater pipeline, a 2.44-kilometer (1.51-mile) brine discharge pipeline, a 1.74-km (1.08-mile) desalinated water transmission line, a 2,000-cubic-meter (528,344-gallon) master tank, approximately an 11-km (6.9-mile) power line and two electric substations in San Quintín, Ensenada, Baja California. The Project will be implemented under a public-private partnership (PPP), and the drinking water produced by the Project will be supplied for public use in the San Quintín Valley.
