Future of Water Reuse: Lessons from LACSD's Joint Plant

Looking to the Future with the Regional Recycled Water Program

SWRCB Wastewater: 0.05 CEU

CWEA: .5 Contact Hours

Practice Area: Communication & Outreach, Engineering & Research, All

Through the Regional Recycled Water Program, purified water from a full-scale advanced treatment facility would be delivered to four groundwater basins in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, supplying water to 7.2 million people. This session will cover how a new local water source is being developed for Southern California.

Learner Outcomes:

• Describe the Regional Recycled Water Program that will purify wastewater to produce high quality water for groundwater replenishment across Southern California.
• Recognize an innovative use of an MBR, which has yet to receive regulatory approval in California for reuse applications.
• Understand regional collaboration efforts and coordination with regulators and local agencies to develop a new local water supply.
