Check out this cool VIDEO - Great things happening in Costa Mesa!

Torelli Realty is so proud of our very own James “Jim” Fisler, President of the Board of Directors for the Mesa Water District. He also serves as a member of the City of Costa Mesa’s Investment Oversight Committee.  Thanks to the vision of people like Jim and all the Directors at Mesa Water, this is the only water district in Orange County to be supplied 100% by local sources…a remarkable achievement! https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=jr31nnp7M_I 

Since the final construction truck has left the Mesa Water Reliability Facility (MWRF), all that remains is the faint hum of new groundwater wells amidst beautiful new landscaping that serves as an educational feature.

Crews worked feverishly to install and test new wells and filtering equipment, which pump amber-colored water from the lowest depths of Orange County’s Groundwater Basin and treat it for use by Mesa Water customers. The project expanded the 11-year-old Facility’s capacity from 5.8 million gallons per day to 8.6 million gallons per day, increasing water production by 50 percent. The purpose of the upgrades was to eliminate Mesa Water’s dependence on costly and unreliable sources of water imported from Northern California and the Colorado River.

Additionally, by becoming 100 percent reliant on local water supplies, Mesa Water will use energy more efficiently, and less energy overall...that means less greenhouse gas will be created, thus reducing the District’s carbon footprint. It took less than two years, and a team of the brightest engineers and contractors, to complete the upgrade of Mesa Water’s unique treatment facility. The award-winning project finished under budget, and its additional output allows the District to reach the Mesa Water Board’s long-standing vision of filling 100% of customers’ water needs with local water supplies.

The landscape vision for the MWRF ties together the property’s past, present, and future, using water-wise plants and mature redwood trees as both a visual barrier and a symbol of the ancient redwood forests that give the deep groundwater treated at the Facility its amber color.  Thirty-minute guided tours of the MWRF and garden will soon be available.
