Document Description
The existing July 24, 1996 recycled water purchase agreement incorporated a term of 25-years. It was entered into by one of SCVWA’s predecessor agencies, Castaic Lake Water Agency as well as SCVSD predecessor agencies County Sanitation Districts Nos. 26 and 32. The amendment would update the participants’ information as well as extend the term by five-years. The pricing for recycled water will be fixed at the current rate of $167 per acre-foot, subject to Cost-of-Living Index adjustment that would be capped at a maximum of five percent per year. The amendment would also prohibit SCVSD from selling recycled water to other entities.
