In 2017, the City became a Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) over the area of the San Luis Obispo Valley Groundwater Basin, designated by the California Department of Water Resources as a Medium Priority Basin, that lies beneath and within its jurisdictional boundaries. And Recycled water is highly treated wastewater approved for reuse by the California Department of Public Health for a variety of applications, including landscape irrigation and construction dust control. Completed in 2006, the Water Reuse Project created the first new source of water for the City since 1961 following construction of Whale Rock Dam. The Project resulted in improvements at the City’s Water Resource Recovery Facility and an initial eight miles of distribution pipeline. The City’s first delivery of recycled water took place in 2006. The City estimates demand exists for approximately 1,000 acre feet of recycled water for landscape irrigation and other approved uses. In addition to landscape irrigation, the City is examining several alternatives for maximizing the long-term beneficial use of recycled water. Alternatives include providing groundwater recharge within the San Luis Obispo Valley Basin for indirect potable reuse (IPR), or direct potable reuse (DPR). Additional information is provided on recycled water in subsections A 3.0, A 7.0, and B 3.0 of this Element and in the 2017 Recycled Water Master Plan.
