FY 2018 Authorized Title XVI Project Funding

Padre Dam Municipal Water District

San Diego Area Water Reclamation Program

East County Advanced Water Purification Program 

Federal Funding: $7,392,351

Padre Dam Municipal Water District is planning to implement the Phase I Water Recycling Project, 

which includes expansion of the Ray Stoyer Water Reclamation Facility, construction of a new 

advanced water purification facility, potable reuse conveyance pipelines, groundwater injection and 

recovery wells, and a biosolids digestion facility to offset energy demands of the project. The project 

will create 3,900 acre-feet per year of potable water by capturing wastewater flows that would otherwise 

be discharged to the ocean, allowing Padre Dam MWD to increase local water supplies.

City of San Diego

San Diego Area Water Reclamation Program

Pure Water San Diego Program

Federal Funding: $9,000,000

The Pure Water Program is a phased, multi-year program that will ultimately make available 93,000 

acre-feet of water per year, or approximately 30% of the City of San Diego's water supply, by 2035. The

first two phases of the Pure Water San Diego Program are expected to produce 33,600 acre-feet of water 

suitable for potable reuse. Through the Pure Water Program, the City expects to make a new reliable 

source of potable water available for San Diego by increasing the amount of reclaimed water, while also 

reducing the amount of wastewater that is released into the ocean.

Hi-Desert Water District

Hi-Desert Wastewater Reclamation Project

Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Project

Federal Funding: $8,668,5000

The Hi-Desert District Wastewater Collection and Reuse Facility in Yucca Valley, California, includes 

construction of a centralized wastewater treatment facility and collection system to eliminate septic systems 

within the District's service area. The project will provide tertiary treatment to percolate recycled water into the 

Warren Valley Groundwater Basin where water levels have been depleted. In addition to improving the quality 

of the groundwater basin, this project will also provide a more drought resistant water supply. Upon completion, 

this project will result in the recharge of 1,804 acre-feet of recycled water annually.
City of Escondido

San Diego Area Water Reclamation Program 

Membrane Filtration Reverse Osmosis (MFRO) Facility Project

Federal Funding: $5,000,000

Located in northern San Diego County, the City of Escondido’s proposed Membrane Filtration Reverse 

Osmosis (MFRO) Project will provide an additional water supply source to the City's agricultural users. 

The project will treat recycled water using membrane filtration and reverse osmosis technologies to 

produce high quality recycled water that is low in total dissolved solids (TDS) and chlorides. This water 

will be provided to agricultural growers who produce crops that require high quality water and are 

essential to the local economy. Upon completion, the project will produce up to 2,226 acre-feet of water 

annually.

Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District

Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District Projects

Horsethief Canyon Wastewater Reclamation Facility Expansion and Upgrade Project

Federal Funding: $2,693,455

The Horsethief Canyon Wastewater Reclamation Facility Expansion and Upgrade project will increase 

recycled water production and help provide a reliable local water supply source for the Elsinore Valley 

Municipal Water District (EVMWD). The project will add a wastewater treatment process train to meet 

the growing recycled water demands in the Horsethief Canyon service area and will help meet 

wastewater discharge treatment requirements. An additional 396 acre-feet per year of reclaimed water 

will be made available through the proposed expansion.

City of San Jose

San Jose Area Water Reclamation and Reuse Program 

South Bay Water Recycling Phase 1B Infrastructure Improvements

Federal Funding: $2,545,471

The South Bay Water Recycling Program is a joint effort of local municipalities and water districts 

administered by the City of San Jose, California to provide recycled water throughout Santa Clara County. 

Recycled water that is delivered by the South Bay Water Recycling program will result in approximately 11,000 

acre-feet per year of local, reliable, water supply. The Program delivers recycled water to more than 850 

irrigation and industrial customers in the cities of San Jose, Milpitas, and Santa Clara.
