San Gabriel River Watershed Project to Reduce River Discharge in Support of Increased Recycled Water Reuse

San Gabriel River Watershed Project to Reduce River Discharge in Support of Increased Recycled Water Reuse

In anticipation of increased future recycled water demands, the Sanitation Districts are proposing to incrementally reduce discharges of recycled water from five water reclamation plants (WRPs), including the San Jose Creek WRP, the Pomona WRP, the Whittier Narrows WRP, the Los Coyotes WRP, and the Long Beach WRP, each of which currently discharges into the San Gabriel River, San Jose Creek, or Coyote Creek. The diverted water would supply recycled water programs implemented by other agencies. The proposed reduction in water discharges would occur over time, and would not involve any construction activities or other physical changes to the environmental other than the decreased volume of discharge.
