replenish the groundwater basin. The attached resolution supports the implementation of the
System and encourages its development. In addition, the resolution requests that the
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California provide financial assistance to the System
through its Local Resources Program.

REQUEST FOR ACTION
MEETING DATE: March 15, 1999 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER:W098/9-03
Analysis: The Orange County Water District (OCWD) and the Orange County
Sanitation District are proposing a Groundwater Replenishment System. The System will
take highly treated wastewater now discharged into the ocean and process it through an
advanced treatment facility using microfiltration, reverse osmosis and disinfection
technologies to purify the water beyond drinking water standards. The water will then be
piped to existing percolation ponds in Anaheim where it will be purified again as it percolates
into the ground and is filtered naturally.
Current projections show the population of Orange County increasing by nearly one million
people by the year 2020. OCWD estimates that demand on the groundwater basin based on
current pumping percentages could increase by approximately 150,000 acre feet by 2020. It
is anticipated that the Groundwater Replenishment System will add 100,000 acre feet of
water to the basin thereby helping ensure reliability to groundwater users in Orange County.
Currently, Huntington Beach relies on groundwater wells for approximately 75% of its water
supply.
The attached resolution supports the implementation of the System and encourages the
Districts to proceed with its development. In addition, the resolution requests that the
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California provide financial assistance to the project
through its Local Resources Program.
Environmental Status: Not applicable.
