Treated recycled water has many uses, and we looked at several of<br />

them during the past year. From irrigation, to being pumped up to and<br />

blended with water stored in the Loch Lomond Reservoir, to being<br />

treated and injected into aquifers, the results of the analyses have<br />

created a rich data source for comparison of all of the alternatives<br />

for a final recommendation.<br />

DESAL: DID YOU KNOW?<br />

The Ocean Plan<br />

was amended in 2015 with a specific<br />

approach to design and operate new<br />

and expanded desalination facilities<br />

that minimize ocean impacts.<br />

Using the existing desalination project framework, we incorporated<br />

comments made in the 2013 project Environmental Impact <strong>Report</strong>,<br />

along with new environmental regulations and direction from the<br />

<strong>WSAC</strong>, to update the desalination project scope. Based on the amount<br />

of water the <strong>WSAC</strong> determined is needed to fill our supply gap during<br />

dry years, the updated scope reflects a bigger desal project as well as<br />

adjusted intake and pump station locations.
