Project Description
The Oro Grande Wash Groundwater Recharge Project has an ultimate delivery capacity for approximately 8,000 AF. The trunk facilities are designed to flow the full capacity. The Flow control facility and pipeline into the wash is designed to flow half of the capacity into a joint use San Bernardino County Flood Control Detention/Recharge Basin. This project (Phase 2 of the Oro Grande Wash Project) is to construct a second pipeline to the Wash and to another groundwater recharge area between Amethyst and Bear Valley Road.

Project Description
The Alto Subarea Regional Aquifer Storage and Restoration (ASR2) project would use water from the Mojave Water Agency R-Cubed infrastructure to inject potable water into existing municipal wells in the regional aquifer. Injection would be timed to periods when these wells would not normally be in service (fall-winter). Injected water would be available for immediate use by purveyors during normal demand periods (spring- summer). This project uses existing equipment with very little new infrastructure. Costs incurred would be for minimal retrofitting at wellheads, periodic well cleaning, and injected water.

Project Description
Construct a water distribution system for the conveyance of recycled water from the proposed Subregional Treatment Plant in the City of Hesperia. The system would include a non-potable reservoir near the Subregional site, booster pumps, and approximately seven miles of “purple” pipeline to convey recycled water to the Hesperia Golf Club and several other users throughout the City.

Lahontan, Colorado
Project Description
MWA has very little off-river aquifer recharge capacity. During wet periods, when SWP water is plentiful and “cheap,” the river is likely to be full and unable to accept recharge. MWA needs to be able to accept large a quantity of water in a relatively short (wet) period. This could be accomplished through a variety of infrastructure. Once such infrastructure combination could include surface water impoundment for later distribution to recharge ponds, ASR injection wells, etc… In addition this project could easily be expanded to a water bank with an aqueduct pump-back component for “buy low/sell high” of banked water.

Project Description
A small package reverse osmosis treatment plant with a capacity of approximately 300 gpm would lower the City of Victorville’s IWWTP effluent TDS from the current 600 – 800 mg/L down to 450 mg/L. This removal of TDS would increase reuse of the Title 22 recycled water plant effluent.

Project Description
A water conservation ordinance in the unincororated areas of San Bernardino County, within the MWA Jurisdictional Boundary. The MWA has said that the Judgment alone may not be adequate to address all of the water conservation measures that need to be taken to balance water supply and demands in the Baja Subarea. At the Silver Valley Farm Bureau meeting stakeholders were approached about singing into the stipulated agreement. At that time County Ordinance 810.0605-810.0610 was referred to, to be our protection against unauthorized production. This ordinance was removed in 2007. A new ordinance could help to insure an equitable share of the benefits made possible by the Physical Solution.
