Lead Agency: Scotts Valley Water District

Project Description: The purpose of this project is to expand the Scotts Valley Water District’s existing recycled water distribution system into new areas around Scotts Valley to satisfy major landscaping water demands and reduce groundwater pumping in the Santa Margarita and Lompico aquifers. In 2002, the Scotts Valley Water District and the City of Scotts Valley installed a state of the art water recycling facility in an effort to reduce demand for groundwater. Expanding the recycled water distribution system will enable greater use of recycled water, which provides an important additional source of water for summer time irrigation when peak demands are greatest. This project will construct the line extensions and facilities to distribute recycled water into areas that currently do not have access to recycled water.
