To help address over-pumping of the groundwater basin, the City of Watsonville and Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency (PVWMA) teamed up with RMC Water and Environment to study the feasibility of using recycled water as an alternative irrigation supply. Through extensive pilot testing and working address over pumping of the groundwater basin, with local growers, RMC:
- Identified, designed and constructed a water recycling project that exceeds Title 22 requirements and provides superior protection for consumers and sensitive crops
- Provided regulatory permitting, funding support and engineering services during construction
- Designed key elements of the $48-million project, including a 7.7-mgd tertiary treatment facility and 20 miles of distribution piping
