REGIONAL APPROACH TO MAXIMIZE REUSE OPPORTUNITIES IN NORTH SAN DIEGO COUNTY

摘要

Southern California faces many water supply challenges. Droughts, climate change, population growth, and legal and environmental constraints combine to reduce or strain water supply reliability. Recycled water offers a reliable, drought-proof approach for augmenting local and imported supplies. Eleven agencies, which consist of the Olivenhain Municipal Water District (OMWD), Carlsbad Municipal Water District (Carlsbad MWD), San Elijo Joint Powers Authority (San Elijo JPA), Leucadia Wastewater District, City of Oceanside, City of Vista/Buena Sanitation District, Vista Irrigation District (VID), Vallecitos Water District, City of Escondido, Rincon del Diablo Municipal Water District, and the Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID), joined together to develop a regional Recycled Water Facilities Plan. The plan analyzes the recycled water facilities and demands for each agency to develop a regional project consisting of several different components.
