Orange County Water District
Orange County Water District, a water wholesaler serving 2.3 million people, is recycling 50 million gallons a day and is committed to 70 million gallons per day by May 2007. Through a partnership with the Orange County Sanitation District, the new Groundwater Replenishment System will produce enough water for 144,000 families each year and will require half the energy that importing water from Northern California presently does.
