§ 4.16.020. Statutory authority.  


Latest version.
  • A.

    Authority. Recycled water use is regulated by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Santa Ana Region (RWQCB). In accordance with waste discharge requirements for water reclamation projects, the RWQCB requires control mechanisms to regulate facilities distributing recycled water. Article 2 of Chapter 7 of Division 7 of the California Water Code establishes a State policy to encourage the use of recycled water. Permission to use recycled water is based on Inland Empire Utilities Agency's ability to adequately treat domestic wastewater to the point that the recycled water (effluent) meets the requirements of existing Title 22, Chapter 3 regulations of the California Code of Regulations. These regulations were adopted to ensure proper health protection and specify the treatment degree to meet the needs of the intended applications.
