2015 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN <br />6,5 Optimization Clan <br />Studies of water recycling opportunities within southern California provide a context for promoting the <br />development of water recycling plans. It is recognized that broad public acceptance of recycled water <br />requires continued education and public involvement. Currently, most of the recycled water available is <br />being directed toward replenishment of the groundwater basin and improvements in groundwater quality. <br />As a groundwater user, the City supports the efforts of OCWD and OCSD to use recycled water as a <br />primary resource for groundwater recharge in Orange County. <br />Public Education <br />The City participates in the MWDOC public education and school education programs that include <br />extensive sections on water recycling. MWDOC's water use efficiency public information programs are a <br />partnership with agencies throughout the county. <br />Through a variety of public information programs, MWDOC reaches the public, including those in the City, <br />with information regarding present and future water supplies, the demands for a suitable quantity and <br />quality of water, including recycled water, and the importance of implementing water efficient techniques <br />and behaviors. Water education programs through MWDOC have reached thousands of students in the <br />City with grade- specific programs that include information on recycled water. <br />Financial Incentives <br />The implementation of recycled water projects involves a substantial upfront capital investment for <br />planning studies, Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs), engineering design and construction before there <br />is any recycled water to market. For Some water agencies, these capital costs exceed the short -term <br />expense of purchasing additional imported water supplies from Metropolitan. <br />The establishment of new supplemental funding sources through federal, state and regional programs <br />now provides significant financial incentives for water agencies to develop and make use of recycled <br />water locally. Potential sources of funding include federal, state and local funding opportunities. These <br />funding sources include the U.S. Department of Interior Bureau of Reclamation (USBR), California <br />Proposition 13 Water Bond, Proposition 84 and Metropolitan LRP. These funding opportunities may be <br />sought by the City or possibly more appropriately by regional agencies. The City will continue to support <br />seeking funding for regional water recycling projects and programs. <br />Optimization Recycled Water Use <br />In Orange County,, recycled water is used for irrigating golf courses, parks, schools, businesses, and <br />communal landscaping, as well as for groundwater recharge. Recycled water users in the City receive <br />their water from OCWD's GAP. Analyses have indicated that present worth costs to expand recycled <br />water within other areas of the City are not cost effective as compared to purchasing imported water from <br />Metropolitan, or using groundwater. The City will continue to conduct feasibility studies for recycled water <br />and seek out creative solutions such as funding, regulatory requirements, institutional arrangement and <br />public acceptance for recycled water use with OCWD, Metropolitan, and other cooperative agencies. <br />75E -83 <br />arcadis.corn 6 -7 <br />
