Full-Scale Reservoir Augmentation (To be determined)
Should Phase 2 prove successful, and receive approvals and funding, the third and final phase of the Water Reuse program would be the construction of a full-scale advanced water treatment plant and transmission pipeline. The treatment plant would take recycled water (acceptable for irrigation and industrial applications) from the North City Water Reclamation Plant and apply additional treatment to produce high quality advanced treated water. A 23-mile pipeline would then transport this advanced treated recycled water to San Vicente Reservoir where it would blend with imported untreated water and reside for several months (per state regulation) prior to being sent to water treatment plants for additional treatment and distribution as potable water.
