This document presents the findings from the Technical Workshop held on December 6, 2010, by the Foothill Municipal Water District on planning for recycled water facilities. It reviews historical studies, facility capacities, and draft paper insights on water supply characteristics, wastewater management, and hydrologic features. Key recommendations, next steps, and funding opportunities, including a grant that could provide up to $75,000 in matching funds, are outlined. The report aims to guide future planning and decision-making related to recycled water projects in the area.
