Since OCWD is limited in GAP <br /> plant capacity, potential new recycled water users do not currently exist, and the City does not expect <br /> additional GAP use in the future. However, the City will continue to convey its wastewater to OC San's <br /> regional treatment facilities where the wastewater is treated and recycled for IPR.The City supports, <br /> encourages, and contributes to the continued development of recycled water and potential uses <br /> throughout the region with OCWD's GWRS. <br /> 6.6.6 upumizaa oii Plari <br /> Studies of water recycling opportunities within Southern California provide a context for promoting the <br /> development of water recycling plans. It is recognized that broad public acceptance of recycled water <br /> requires continued education and public involvement. Currently, most of the recycled water available <br /> being directed toward replenishment of the groundwater basin and improvements in groundwater <br /> quality.As a user of groundwater, the City supports the efforts of OCWD and OC San to use recycled <br /> water as a primary resource for groundwater recharge in Orange County. <br /> 6.6.6.1 Financial Incentives <br /> The implementation of recycled water projects involves a substantial upfront capital investment for <br /> planning studies, EIRs, engineering design, and construction before recycled water is available to the <br /> market. The establishment of new supplemental funding sources through federal, state, and regional <br /> programs now provides significant financial incentives for water agencies to develop and make use of <br /> recycled water locally. Potential sources of funding include federal, state, and local funding opportunities. <br /> These funding sources include the USBR, California Proposition 13 Water Bond, Proposition 84 and MET <br /> Local Resources Program (LRP).These funding opportunities may be sought by the City or possibly more <br /> appropriately by regional agencies. The City will continue to support seeking funding for regional water <br /> recycling projects and programs. <br /> CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />
