Current & Upcoming Projects

Tustin Water Service is always looking to improve system reliability to ensure our customers are receiving quality water and to maximize water storage for emergency response. This requires planning for capital improvements.

Current Projects

PFAS Treatment Facility

Portions of Orange County's groundwater supply have been impacted by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that are prevalent in the environment and were once used in many consumer products.  

The Orange County Water District will be constructing a water treatment facility at Main Street and Prospect Avenue to remove PFAS from four wells in Tustin.  Construction will begin in March 2023 and is expected to take 18 months.
