Water, Energy, & Environment Task Force
Join the East Bay Leadership Council to learn about recent updates on water recycling in California. We will hear about the EBMUD-Central San Recycled Water Feasibility Evaluation, a collaborative effort by the two agencies to evaluate six recycled water project concepts utilizing Central San’s wastewater supply to meet or offset EBMUD’s potable water demands, and new regulations adopted by the California State Water Resources Control Board in 2023 that will allow water systems to treat recycled water and send directly to taps.
