Modesto Regional Water Treatment Plant

MID Water Treatment PlantThe Modesto Regional Water Treatment Plant is owned and operated by the MID. Completed in late 1994, the plant provides an alternative quality drinking water supply for Modesto area residents. It now treats and delivers 40 million gallons per day to the City of Modesto, supplementing the City’s groundwater supply.

The water source is the Tuolumne River, which begins high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. At Modesto Reservoir, water enters the plant’s state-of-the-art treatment process that ensures the water supply meets or exceeds all state and federal drinking water standards now and in the future. Phase Two expansion of the Water Treatment Plant is currently under development.

Tours are not available at this time. Teachers within the Modesto Irrigation District may request a video that features youngsters taking a plant tour and asking questions. A teacher’s guide is also available. Send a request to Education Services regarding the teacher's Guide.
