By the end of the subject fiscal year, there was a total of 324 reuse sites on approximately 7,873 acres. This included three cities employing water trucks to haul reclaimed water to various greenbelt areas and several private water trucks hauling reclaimed water to construction sites. Through the end of FY 94-95, over 868,000 AF of reclaimed water from these two plants has recharged the Central Basin. In the past, this quantity is not included the total amount of reclaimed water used, since it is indirect. However, since this quantity is credited against the allowable amount to be recharged, it will now be included in the total amount of water actively reused.
More reclaimed water is used for groundwater recharge than for all other applications combined.
The remainder of the reclaimed water usage was divided between four broad categories of direct usage. 2,094.5 3.225 Schools 71 767.4 1.359 Roadway Greenbelts 65 675.3 1.319 Nurseries 15 117.3 0.273 Cemeteries 5 128.4 0.287 Misc. Miscellaneous landscaping includes churches, commercial and office buildings, auto dealerships, etc. 2. Industrial processes receiving reclaimed water include paper manufacturing, carpet dyeing, concrete mixing, cooling, repressurization of oil bearing zones and construction applications such as soil compaction and dust control. The California Polytechnic University, Pomona, while technically a school, uses most of its reclaimed water for agricultural purposes and is thus included in this category.
