Site Retrofit and New Development

Retrofits can be made to improve sites already using recycled water system, or to start using recycled water on the site. The first step is to file an application for recycled water service with the Public Works Services Department.

All customers are responsible for designing and retrofitting their site to conform to the design requirements described in the City's Recycled Water Development Standard (Attachment-U). Once the City has approved the plans and specifications, the City will expedite the State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water (DDW) review and approval of plans. Additionally for any site or project that plans to use recycled water for internal uses a Dual Plumbed Engineering Report must be prepared and approved by DDW. To assist with the preparation of this report the City has developed a Recycled Water Dual Plumbed Engineering Report Template. Recycled water shall not be delivered to any dual plumbed site without approval from DDW.

Below are the detailed steps necessary for performing site retrofit work. For more information about site retrofits call Public Works at (650) 780-7464
