The treated water will replace imported drinking water currently used for irrigation and industrial purposes, and will increase regional drinking water supply and reliability. COMMENDATION The 2015/2016 San Diego County Grand Jury commends the North San Diego Water Reuse Coalition and their Regional Recycled Water Project for their voluntary, collaborative and innovative approach to enhancing the reliability and diversity of water supply. Regionalization of facilities will allow recycled water to play an even more significant role in meeting the future water needs in northern San Diego County.
