Recycled Water Beneficial Uses
Law
6.5.4.1 Current and Planned Uses of Recycled Water
The Recycled Water Feasibility Evaluation (RWFE), published March 2016, identified potential
recycled water users (
Figure 6-3
) through a market assessment. As identified in the market
assessment, the potential future uses of recycled water in the City include landscape irrigation,
agricultural irrigation, industrial processes, and potable reuse. As part of the RWFE, infrastructure
required to convey recycled water from the SCRWA WWTP in Gilroy to the potential users in
Morgan Hill was identified. However, there are currently no plans to construct infrastructure for the
purpose of providing recycled water to any of the identified potential users, as indicated on the
following pages in
Table 6-4
.
10633 (c) (Describe and quantify) the potential uses of recycled water, including, but not limited to,
agricultural irrigation, landscape irrigation, wildlife habitat enhancement, wetlands,
industrial reuse, groundwater recharge, indirect potable reuse, and other appropriate
uses, and a determination with regard to the technical and economic feasibility of serving
those uses.
(d) (Describe) the projected use of recycled water within the supplier’s service area at the end
of 5, 10, 15, 20 years and a description of the actual use of recycled water in comparison
to uses previously projected pursuant to this subdivision.
