Document Description
The Proposed Project consists of installing and operating infrastructure necessary to convey Title 22 recycled water from the City of Soledad’s Water Reclamation Facility (“WRF”) to up to 20 parks and schools throughout the City of Soledad. The Project includes the construction of a booster pump facility, distribution piping system, and appurtenances, new or converted irrigation systems, and cross-connection prevention assemblies, as well as construction management, environmental work, planning, and design. The expansion would replace a minimum of 165 acre-feet (54 million gallons) per year of groundwater pumping with recycled water to offset the use of potable water to irrigate sports fields and reduce groundwater use. Additional work on some of these park and school sites, consisting of installing irrigation meters, disconnecting the potable water system from the irrigation system, installing irrigation piping, and replacing sprinkler heads with Title 22 compliant purple colored recycled water sprinkler heads would be required to connect the existing sites’ water systems to the recycled water distribution system.
