BOARD POLICY
RECYCLED WATER
PURPOSE
Periodically, the State of California experiences severe droughts and recycled water is
one of the major alternatives for an uninterruptable source of water supply. The purpose
of this Policy is to promote cost-effective projects in collaboration with water agencies to
augment the region's water supply with treated effluent produced at the District's
treatment plant. The District is in a key position to collaborate with water agencies and
develop cost-effective projects making this new resource available.
POLICY
I. Promote, produce, sell and/or deliver recycled water to retail and wholesale
customers both within and outside the District in a manner consistent with laws,
regulations and prudent public policy.
ll. Develop a cost-effective program to maximize recycled water in coordination with
water agencies. Projects must have a payback period of not more than 15 years.
III. Work with the State of California, the County of Contra Costa and individual local
cities and water agencies to develop ordinances and guidelines to encourage the
use of recycled water.
IV. Develop procedures and standards to ensure the safe and beneficial use of
recycled water.
V. Conduct ongoing public information and customer service programs to ensure
that the public and individual customers have an appropriate understanding of
recycled water including the benefits and responsibility of using recycled water.
VI. Track all costs associated with recycling water and periodically report to the
Board.
