The imported <br />water is purchased through the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC).7 <br />North and Central County's roughly 2.8 million residents rely primarily (19-99 percent <br />depending on location) on groundwater supplied OCWD, which refills the Orange County <br />Groundwater Basin with many different water supplies: water from the Santa Ana River; local <br />rainfall; treated and purified wastewater through the Groundwater Replenishment System <br />(GWRS); and imported water from the Colorado River and Northern California.8 <br />7 www.ocwd.com/about & www.mwdoc.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/water-Supply.pdf <br />8 www.mwdoc.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Water-Supply.pdf <br />2021-2022 Orange County Grand Jury Page 10 <br />City Council 8 — 12 9/20/2022 <br />
