There are many agencies in San Diego County currently producing and distributing recycled water to customers. Uses vary from landscape irrigation at schools, apartment complexes, parks, decorative ponds, fountains, and recreational lakes. Additional uses by other places in San Diego County include dust control, manufacturing concrete blocks and washing government vehicles. Local producers and distributors of recycled water include the City of Carlsbad, City of Escondido, Padre Dam Municipal Water District, Olivenhain Municipal Water District, and Vallecitos Water District. The Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve, operated by the Padre Dam Municipal Water District, has used recycled water to fill artificial lakes and irrigate the preserves landscaping in Santee since the early 1960s. For a list of all recycling projects in San Diego County, see the San Diego County Water Authority’s website at www.sdcwa.org and click on Water Management/Recycling/Recycled Water Facilities.
