EMWD first implemented Aquadapt as a pilot project in August 2006 in the Moreno Valley area, representing about a third of the total network. The success of this project lead to a subsequent order in February 2007 to roll out of Aquadapt to Perris Valley and Sun City/Murrieta, covering some 90% of EMWD’s distribution network and this was completed in September 2007.
