The Sanitation Districts own and operate one of the largest wastewater recycling programs in the world. We have a long history of providing affordable, high-quality recycled water to help meet the water supply needs within the Sanitation Districts’ service area.

Our ten water reclamation facilities produce treated and disinfected recycled water, most of which essentially meets drinking water standards. The recycled water is used at more than 880 sites for a variety of purposes, including indirect, potable groundwater supply augmentation at Montebello Forebay Groundwater Recharge Project.

The Sanitation Districts have also partnered with the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California to purify treated water produced by our A.K. Warren Water Resource Facility.  For more information, click here.

Each day, the Sanitation Districts produce recycled water that is a safe, affordable and drought-resilient resource for residents and businesses. This water is used for industrial, commercial and recreational applications such as groundwater replenishment, agriculture irrigation, industrial processes, and irrigation of parks and schools.

The Sanitation Districts are proud to be recognized as a leader in water recycling and contribute towards a more sustainable Southern California.
