PepsiCo contributes $1.5M to replenish local groundwater in Southern California

At the Water Replenishment District’s Leo J. Vander Lans Advanced Water Treatment Facility in Long Beach, California, a new inland injection well will improve drought resiliency and replenish local groundwater supplies to further establish water independence for four million Los Angeles County residents. The project was made possible in part due to a $1.5M grant from PepsiCo as part of its PepsiCo Positive ambition, which includes the aim to reduce water use and replenish more than 100% of the water it uses in high-risk watersheds.
