On January 11, 2017, EMWD began filling its North Trumble Road Recycled Water Pond. The storage pond allows EMWD to continue maximizing its recycled water resources by creating seasonal storage.

The 900-acre foot pond is EMWD’s first project funded in part through Proposition 1 (Water Bond) funding, which covered 35-percent of the project costs.

EMWD currently uses 100 percent of its recycled water supply, which accounts for 36-percent of its water supply portfolio. Recycled water is used for irrigation of crops, school and park grounds, public landscaping, recreational facilities and industrial use.
