![]() Timing was also a crucial factor, requiring the system to be designed, fabricated, installed and started up within 12 weeks after the issuance of the purchase order. A critical objective of this unique project was use of a sustainable and proven odor control technology to minimize the possibility that odors from the primary treatment process would impact residents near the plant. As new developments were planned near SMWD’s 9.0 MGD Chiquita Water Reclamation Plant, the District initiated plans for enhanced odor control solutions. The state doesn’t currently allow this, but the Legislature has directed the state Division of Drinking Water to come up with rules for such use by 2023.Aqueous Vets’ technology partner Integrity Municipal Systems (IMS) recently completed a project for the Santa Margarita Water District (SMWD), the second largest water district in Orange County, CA, providing services to more than 155,000 residents and businesses. The district is also keeping open the possibility of what’s called direct potable reuse - piping treated wastewater directly to customers’ taps. “If we got cut off from imported water, we could provide all the indoor water and firefighting supplies” from local sources, said district general manager Dan Ferons at Friday’s dedication. Reaching that 30% goal would be particularly important during drought or events like earthquakes that interrupt imported flows. But the new groundwater access in San Juan Capistano and Rancho Mission Viejo is also a component, as is a stormwater-capture plan. To reach the goal of having 30% of the district’s potable water produced locally, the recycled water pumped into the groundwater basin may prove the biggest source. ![]()
