Boundary Expansion and Drinking Water Treatment Plant Construction
In 1971, district boundaries were expanded to include the entire Stockton urban area, and plans were initiated for a 30 million gallon per day (MGD) drinking water treatment plant. In 1975, a district-wide election resulted in the approval of a $25 million bond to fund the new plant. The Dr. Joe Waidhofer drinking water treatment plant, located at 6767 East Main Street, was constructed in 1977 and began operation in 1978. In 1979, the Independent Benefit Commission concluded that the new drinking water treatment plant was a benefit to Stockton’s planning areas. Thereafter, SEWD assessed 14,000 acre-feet of additional agricultural acres, and, in 2005, annexed an additional 27,000 acres into the district. Today, SEWD’s area encompasses approximately 143,300 acres.
