San Joaquin Reservoir Filtration Facility

Irvine Ranch Water District contractors will begin work in late January 2023 on a project to improve water filtration at the San Joaquin Reservoir, which provides recycled water for landscape irrigation and other uses in Newport Coast and parts of Irvine.

The project calls for the construction of a new building, and the installation of a new filtration system inside the building. A new pipeline will be installed along the reservoir access road from the new building to the south side of the reservoir. Other work includes miscellaneous improvements within an existing building, and improvements to the facility electrical system.

To ensure access to the reservoir site for larger vehicles, temporary parking restrictions may be periodically set up along Ford Road. Motorists are advised to comply with temporary no parking signs posted during these periods.
