Providing Exceptional Service to one of California’s Largest Master Planned Communities

Client Situation

Mountain House is a master-planned residential development located between Stockton and the San Jose/Oakland areas of northern California. It is a fast-growing community that attracts residents from those who work in the Bay area, and are seeking more affordable housing. The development uses a “village” concept, with individual subdivisions and communities to create a pleasant quality of life for its residents. In order to provide water and wastewater services, community developers designed and constructed a 12.5 million gallon per day (MGD) surface water treatment plant and a 3.5 MGD wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), as well as all related infrastructure, designed to meet ongoing growth. Both facilities use the latest technologies to ensure that the highest quality water is provided to residents and, ultimately, treated to protect the environment.
