the increase in recreational facilities such as golf
courses are increasing the potential market for

Department and local health agencies approve with
appropriate safeguards the use of reclaimed water; and

years Californians overwhelmingly support the use of
reclaimed water for irrigation and other nonpotable
purposes; and
WHEREAS, the public entities throughout the state that use
reclaimed water for greenbelt and irrigation already
have reclaimed water projects in conceptual, planning,
design and construction phases which will produce
686,105 acre feet of reclaimed water, replacing 530,970
acre-feet of potable water now used, enough to supply
water to more than two million California residents;and
WHEREAS, the cost of the reclaimed water projects in conceptual,
planning, design and construction phases totals $1.97
billion, with less than $130 million now funded; and
WHEREAS, there is still the need for $l.84 billion in financial I
assistance for all or a portion of these projects in
conceptual, planning, design and construction phases.
