CLWA provides recycled water to the Santa Clarita Valley as the water wholesaler. In the current RWMP, CLWA projects an increasing need for recycled water that will reach 17,400 acre-feet per year by 2030. To meet the project objective of accommodating recycled water reuse opportunities, the SCVSD would make recycled water available in quantities needed to support CLWA’s RWMP. Using recycled water reduces the use of potable water and eases concerns of a water shortage during drought. Use of recycled water would use the expected growth in treated effluent as its source of supply. Therefore, updating of the RWMP will inform the capital program decisions facing the SCVSD in this effort.

ThreeofthefiveobjectiveswithintheIRWMPrelatetodroughtpreparedness:

o ReduceWaterDemandbyimplementingtechnological,legislativeandbehavioralchangesthatwillreduceusedemandsforwater.

o ImproveOperationalEfficiencybymaximizingwatersystemoperationalflexibilityandefficiency,includingenergyefficiency.

o IncreaseWaterSupplybyunderstandingfutureregionaldemandsandobtainnecessarywatersupplysources.

Onewaytolessentheseverityofadrought’seffectonSantaClaritaValleyistoprepareinadvanceby: (a) diversifying the various sources of supply, (b) developing a “drought‐proof” supply, (c)identifyingthetypesofwaterusesintheRegion,and(d)reducingdemandfromnon‐essentialuses.

ExpandEnvironmentalStewardship

The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the update of the RWMP will evaluate all of the direct, indirect and cumulative impacts that implementation of recycled water projects within the Santa Clarita Valley would have on the environment. Further, both projects promote stewardship through conservation of resources, and protection of water quality.

PracticeIntegratedFloodManagement

The SCVSD provides wastewater management services for the City of Santa Clarita and adjacent unincorporated areas. The SCVSD collects wastewater from households and businesses within its service area and treats the wastewater at its Saugus and Valencia Water Reclamation Plants. Most of the treated wastewater is not currently reused and is discharged to the Santa Clara River. TheRWMPUpdatewillseekoutadditionalwaysputmorewastewaterfromtheregiontobeneficialuseandtomakeitfeasibletodeliverrecycledwatertomoreendusersinthefuture.ThiswillchangetheflowsintotheSantaClaritaRiverwhichmayhaveanimpactonfloodingdownstream.ThiswillbeinfluencedbytheRWMPUpdateanddiscussedaspartoftheSCVSD’sEIRfortheirproject.
