Agenda - City of Santa Monica

In this potential system, the City may be able to partner with LADWP to jointly fund a
new transmission and pumping system that connects to the WBMWD line and bring
recycled water to the southeast side of Santa Monica (Figure 6). The project would
require approximately 5 miles of pipe from its current point of termination. Establishing
the partnerships and agreements necessary to make this type of inter-agency program
a reality will require time, and this option should be considered a long-range strategy for
the City. It is unlikely that the City could deliver additional recycled water to its
customers before 2020.
Portfolio Options and Per Capita Water Consumption Targets
Implementation of the strategies described above (Option 1) suggest that the City can
meet its self-sufficiency goal through a c ombination of water conservation programs,
additional local groundwater production (Figure 6), and additional supplies from
rainwater harvesting and City-wide stormwater capture. In the future, the City may also
be able to establish additional recycled water supplies through inter-agency
partnerships with adjacent water agencies and municipalities. Figure 7 presents three
different options for obtaining water self-sufficiency. Details for each option are
presented in this section.
