Recycled Water
Water recycling is a critical component of the water resources management strategy for the Chino Basin. The State of California has determined that the reuse of highly treated recycled water is the only new major source of water available to meet the Southern California’s growing water demand. Recycled water is a proven technology and implementing its use will provide a more dependable local supply of water, as well as, reduce the likelihood of water rationing during droughts. In addition, use of recycled water for groundwater recharge has been made an integral part of the Chino Basin Watermaster ”Peace Agreement” implementing the Chino Basin Optimum Basin Management Program and Inland Empire Utilities Agency’s Urban Water Management Plan. The construction of recycled water projects across the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) service area is vital to the protection and enhancement of the safe yield and water quality of the Chino Groundwater Basin.
Conservation
The Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) was formed in 1950 to supply imported drinking water to the Chino Basin. Originally named the Chino Basin Municipal Water District, IEUA has been a leader in water supply planning and programs to protect the region’s vital water supplies for over fifty years. Smart water planning starts with water conservation. Every gallon of water saved within the Chino Basin translates into reduced demand for expensive imported water supplies. By being more efficient, our community will increase the reliability of our existing water supplies and reduce the cost of imported water purchases. IEUA’s goal is to save over 25,000 acre-feet of water over the next twenty years through conservation – that’s about 7% of our area’s current water use.
