Body
SUMMARY:
Since 2014, District staff has been in discussions with staff from the City of Sunnyvale to collaboratively evaluate water reuse options to produce purified water for potential potable reuse projects on the northwest portion of Santa Clara County.
Working towards a comprehensive agreement for purified water, the District and Sunnyvale developed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 2017. Sunnyvale staff and District staff are coordinating feasibility studies defined in the MOU. Some of the key studies outlined on the MOU work will be performed under the District’s Countywide Recycled and Purified Water Master Plan. Additional MOU activities will be covered by the District’s Reverse Osmosis Concentrate Management Plan. These plans are on schedule to be completed by July of 2019.
The most recent meeting between executive leadership from District and Sunnyvale was held on July 17, 2018. The discussions included conceptual water reuse alternatives, source water, land availability and consideration of Bay-side ponds for reverse osmosis concentrate management. The next meeting of District and City staff is planned for September 14, 2018.
