Augmenting water supplies for the future

Augmenting water supplies for the future

One of the first plans of its kind, this visionary project calls for the diversion of wastewater from the Point Loma Treatment Plant to upstream recycling facilities for non-potable, indirect and direct potable reuse. The study won the support of environmental groups concerned about discharges into the Pacific Ocean through the Point Loma outfall. The plan includes advanced treatment at the city’s North City Water Reclamation Plant to augment supply at the San Vicente Reservoir for future indirect potable reuse.
