Recycled <strong>Water</strong><br />
outfall extends 10,550 feet <strong>of</strong>fshore near Doheny Beach and the mouth <strong>of</strong> San Juan<br />
Creek. Ultimately, the hydraulic capacity <strong>of</strong> the San Juan Creek Outfall will be expanded<br />
to 31.5 MGD. At a minimum, full secondary treatment is provided at wastewater<br />
treatment plants within the service area, with most plants exceeding this level <strong>of</strong><br />
treatment.<br />
SOCWA Coastal Treatment <strong>Plan</strong>t - SOCWA’s Coastal Treatment <strong>Plan</strong>t (CTP) located in<br />
the City <strong>of</strong> Laguna Niguel has a maximum influent capacity <strong>of</strong> 6.7 MGD. Effluent has<br />
been treated to secondary or tertiary levels dependent upon disposal or reuse <strong>of</strong> the<br />
wastewater for recycling. Recycled water is treated to applicable Title 22 standards.<br />
Treated effluent that is not recycled is disposed through the Aliso Creek Outfall Ocean<br />
Outfall. In 2010, 4,400 acre-feet <strong>of</strong> dry weather flows were collected and treated on<br />
average <strong>of</strong> which 900 acre-feet was used as recycled water.<br />
SOCWA Joint Regional Treatment <strong>Plan</strong>t - The Joint Regional Treatment <strong>Plan</strong>t (JRTP)<br />
with a maximum influent capacity <strong>of</strong> 12 MGD lies within the City <strong>of</strong> Laguna Niguel and<br />
is operated by SOCWA. Effluent has been treated to secondary or tertiary levels<br />
dependent upon disposal or reuse <strong>of</strong> the wastewater for recycling. Recycled water is<br />
treated to applicable Title 22 standards. Non-recycled effluent is conveyed to the Aliso<br />
Creek Ocean Outfall via the SOCWA Effluent Transmission Main. In 2010, the JRTP<br />
received and treated an average dry weather flow <strong>of</strong> 10,420 acre-feet with 6,721 acre-feet<br />
treated to recycled water standards.<br />
SOCWA <strong>Plan</strong>t 3A - <strong>Plan</strong>t 3A is located within the City <strong>of</strong> Laguna Niguel and is operated<br />
by SOCWA. The maximum influent capacity is 6 MGD. Effluent has been treated to<br />
secondary or tertiary levels dependent upon disposal or reuse <strong>of</strong> the wastewater for<br />
recycling. Recycled water is treated to applicable Title 22 standards. Unused effluent is<br />
conveyed to the San Juan Creek Outfall via the 3A Effluent Transmission Main. On<br />
average, in 2010 <strong>Plan</strong>t 3A received and treated 2,352 acre-feet <strong>of</strong> dry weather flows <strong>of</strong><br />
which 1,266 acre-feet were treated to recycle water standards.<br />
SOCWA J. B. Latham Treatment <strong>Plan</strong>t - SOCWA’s J. B. Latham Treatment <strong>Plan</strong>t is the<br />
largest plant in the service area with a design capacity <strong>of</strong> 13 MGD. This plant is located<br />
in the City <strong>of</strong> Dana Point. Effluent is currently treated to secondary levels. Effluent is<br />
conveyed directly to the San Juan Creek Outfall. In 2010, the average dry weather flows<br />
collected and treated were 10,977 acre-feet. None <strong>of</strong> the treated effluent is currently<br />
being recycled.<br />
6.3. Current Recycled <strong>Water</strong> Uses<br />
Recycled water is widely accepted as a source for direct use and indirect use <strong>of</strong> water<br />
supply throughout MWDOC’s service area. In the past, recycled water was mainly used<br />
for landscape irrigation. Large recycled water projects include: the Green Acres Project,<br />
<strong>Municipal</strong> <strong>Water</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Orange</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />
2010 Regional Urban <strong>Water</strong> Management <strong>Plan</strong><br />
