Thanks for the incentive Bill!

This Week’s Speaker

Ron Cross, biologist for the City of San Diego Water Department came and spoke with us about the Water Reuse Study for 2005.

The City of San Diego imports 80-90 percent of its water supply from northern California and the Colorado River. The cities other sources are from stored local runoff and water recycling. Over the past 19 years, the City’s conservation programs have helped reduce the City’s dependence on imported water. Today the program saves approximately 20,000 acre feet of potable (drinking) water a year.  Enough to meet the water needs of 40,000 typical families for a year.

Even with aggressive conservation efforts, the City may need 25 percent more water in 2030. The City of San Diego began deliveries of recycled water to customer in 1997 and operates two state of the art reclamation facilities – one in North County and one in South Bay. Some of the largest customers are Torrey Pines Gold Course, UCSD, Caltrans, U.S. Marine Corp Air Station, and City Parks and Recreation Department.

There are economic benefits for using recycled water. Recycled water costs about .42 for every dollar of regular water.  The City of San Diego Water Department is looking for public feedback. They want your opinions on the various options for expanding recycled water use. There are a wide range of meetings and communication opportunities – including a speaker’s bureau, American Assembly process, stakeholder interviews, and website – are facilitating dialogue and information sharing with city residents and the study team. Please give them feedback through a web based survey which can be found at www.sandiego.gov/water/waterreusestudy.
