Recycled Water Policy
DEVELOPMENT OF A STATEWIDE POLICY FOR RECYCLED WATER
The State Water Resources Control Board is developing a statewide Recycled Water Policy to establish more uniform requirements for recycled water projects. Workshops will be held to include the public in this process.
Recycled water is a major source of water supply in California and a major component in California’s plan for meeting the State’s growing water demand. The California Water Plan estimates that recycled water usage can increase from half a million acre-feet per year in 2003 to two million acre-feet per year in 2030.
The Recycled Water Task Force issued a report in June 2003 that contained recommendations that California should implement to achieve this goal. The report found inconsistent regulation of recycled water projects to be an impediment to the increased use of recycled water.
