The City of Escondido is expanding its recycled water system to reduce dependence on imported water and increase water access to agricultural users that are a vital part of Escondido’s economy. The Membrane Filtration Reverse Osmosis Facility (MFRO) is currently under construction on West Washington Avenue and once complete will treat the City’s existing recycled water supply for agricultural use. Part of this project requires a new pump station that will be located in Mountain View Park.
As part of the pump station project, new restrooms will be built in Mountain View Park to benefit all park users and surrounding neighborhoods. All park amenities will remain open during construction. The Glenridge Parking Lot will be closed for safety during construction, but the other two lots remain open. All of the parking spaces that are impacted by this project will be replaced elsewhere in the park.
Construction will start on August 30 and will last approximately 18 months. More information can be found at: escondido.org/intermediate-booster-pump-station
