How will the MFP address the future use of recycled water to assist Southern California during this prolonged period of drought?
The Sanitation Districts are strong proponents of the use of recycled water (commonly referred to as water reuse), and have been aggressively marketing its recycled water for over 40 years.This past year, over 80,000 acre-feet of our recycled water was beneficially reused for a variety of purposes including groundwater replenishment, landscape and agricultural irrigation, industrial applications, and wildlife habitat enhancement.(An acre-foot serves the approximate needs of two families for one year.)Even so, a significant portion of the recycled water is still being discharged to the Pacific Ocean via concrete-lined rivers and flood control channels.As part of the facilities planning effort, the Sanitation Districts will be seeking to identify new users and reuse sites for the remaining available recycled water being produced at the upstream water reclamation plants (WRPs).
