Recording of the webinar "How Did We Do It? Recycling 100% Reclaimable Wastewater Flows into High-Quality Drinking Water," broadcast February 7, 2023.
Description:
Two public agencies, the Orange County Water District (OCWD) and the Orange County Sanitation District (OC San), had the vision and foresight to do what was once unthinkable - purify wastewater into high-quality drinking water. Since 2008, the Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS), already recognized as the world’s largest indirect potable reuse facility, has produced more than 400 billion gallons of water. It now has another impressive notch in its belt: recycling 100% of OC San’s reclaimable wastewater flows. Soon, the project will produce 130 million gallons of drinking water a day, serving nearly 1 million people in north and central Orange County.
Join general managers Mike Markus, OCWD, and Jim Herberg, OC San, as we take a deep dive into this engineering marvel and discuss the unique, longstanding partnership between OCWD and OC San, new and expanded infrastructure built to sustain maximum capacity at the GWRS, and what’s to come.
Speakers:
1) Michael R. Markus, P.E., D.WRE, BCEE, F.ASCE, General Manager, Orange County Water District
2) Jim Herberg, General Manager, Orange County Sanitation District
