Potable Reuse
Environmental buffer
Environmental buffer:
A natural water body (e.g., reservoir or river)
that physically separates product water from
a water reuse facility and the intake to a
drinking water plant or distribution system.
For groundwater recharge, an aquifer and/or
soil act as the environmental buffer that
separates product water from a water reuse
facility and a potable water extraction well

Excess reclaimed water and inadequatelytreated reclaimed water are disposed of via
injection wells
Total of 10 wells at the water reclamation plants
Wells penetrate a saltwater aquifer about 1,000
feet (305 m) below land surface
Groundwater chloride level = 22,000 mg/L
Precludes its use as a potable source of supply
Program Cost*
Cost to date: $145,000,000
EPA grant funding estimated to be $100,000,000
Upgrade the four treatment plants
Construct the distribution system
City funded share $20,000,000 (contribution not
targeted for recover)
