Part of the Antelope Valley Integrated Regional Water Management Plan, the Upper Amargosa Creek Recharge project is a joint effort between the City of Palmdale, AVEK, Palmdale Water District and Los Angeles County Waterworks District 40.
Located on a 75 acre site near 25th St West and Lake Elizabeth Rd., when completed, this project will expand the Valley's water supply portfolio with a recharge capacity of 1600-2350 acre feet per year.
Habitat for native animal species including desert night lizards and coyotes will be preserved. Eight spreading basins have a maximum capacity of 100 cubic feet per second during storms
Available State Water Project supplies will be used to recharge the local aquifer system.
In the future, recovered water will be put to beneficial use in area homes and businesses.
This project offers flood protection in an area with a history of heavy flooding during storms
Plans integrate the recharge facilities with a Nature Park to restore 25 acres of habitat along Amargosa Creek.
Form and function of the project earned the partners $6.5 million from Proposition 1E Stormwater/Flood Management funds awarded by the Department of Water Resources.
