Exploring New Boundaries
EMWD Overview
• 555 square miles in southwest Southern California
• Population of 675,000 / 40% ultimate build-out
• Imports approximately 80% of water from SWP and CRA
• Strategy: Reduce dependency on imported water supplies
Populations
• Through the past decade EMWD’s service area was one of the fastest growing regions in CA
• Populations has doubled since 1990• The service Area population will be
doubled again by 2035

EMWD’s Recycled Water Program History
• EMWD began treating wastewater within its service area in the 1960’s
• Originally, treated effluent was disposed of through on-site percolation/evaporation ponds.
• In 1991, through a U.S. Bureau of Reclamation grant, EMWD began to develop a recycled water “backbone” to expand recycled water use Sun City Regional Water Reclamation Facility under
construction in 1965
EMWD’s Recycled Water Backbone
• Four operating reclamation facilities that treat 45 million gallons per day (MGD)
• Over 200 miles of pipeline
• 20 pumping facilities• 16 MG of total service
level storage (11 MG in construction)
• More than 2 billion gallons of recycled water storage
Recycled Water System Growing Pains
• Over time, EMWD’s customer base grew• EMWD continued to expand the system
to meet more demands• To better serve the customers and to
increase the M & I customer base, the previous gravity system was pressurized:– New storage pond pumps– Upgrade existing pumps– Additional transmission lines– Pressure regulating valves– Service level storage– Booster stations
EMWD’s Current Recycled Water Program
• 2003; EMWD adopted a “Mandatory Use” Policy
• 2007; Released draft process and procedures & standards and specifications
• 2008; Began developing Retrofit Program
• 2009; EMWD completed Recycled Water Strategic Plan with the main Objectives:– Maximize “beneficial use of
recycled water” & “potable water offsets”.
• 2010; Completed Recycled Water Master Plan
• 2011; Completed Intergraded Resources Plan (IRP)

EMWD Recycled Water Rate
• Ag Recycled Water $90.25 Per AF
• Ag Recycled Water (Demand) $249.25• Non Ag Recycled Water $311.50 • Potable Water Rate –Irrigation $1180• Potable Water Rate - Ag Users $1034
EMWD Usage
• Total Customer Use during 2010: 28,000 AF
• Total Treated Flow = 46,500 AF
• Total Potable Water Consumption = 104,000 AF
• Currently 60% of Sewer water being used , but the goal is 100% utilization
Score Cards
• % of RW used to Wastewater • % of RW water to overall water
consumption
So, What Are the Trend for usage?
• What % of wastewater (recycled) is being used globally?– U.S.A.
= ~5%– Australia = 15%– Israel =70%
• What % of wastewater (recycled) is being used nationally?– Florida = 40%– State of California = 15%

Recycled Water Key Initiatives
• Mandatory Use Policy• RW Strategic Plan• Integrated Resources Plan• RW Master Plan• HR30 / ARRA projects
EMWD Strategic PlanAction Plan for a Project
• Strategic Plan 2010: under Water Supply & Reliability
– Strategic Goal: Provide a safe & reliable supply of Water, at reasonable cost.
• Strategic Objective IV (Recycling): Maximize the Recycled Water use in an environmentally responsible manner
– Tactics: Develop Strategies to achieve the highest beneficial use of Recycled Water
Action Plan: Develop strategies to advance an Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) Program
Recycled Water System Strategic PlanJune 2009• Purpose of the Plan was to Identify
Strategies to Meet District Goals
• District Goals:– Achieve Zero Discharge – Maximize Potable Water
Offset– Minimize Cost– Optimize Salt Balance
Challenges
Managing Seasonal Variations in Demands Highly Weather Dependent
Pursuing "Business As Usual“ Customers Will Not Allow District to Meet Its Goals
Therefore, Need to Pursue Non-Traditional Demands (Special Projects)
