The El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) has been in the water recycling business for over20 years. In 1979 EID served secondary treated effluent to a golf course for irrigation and alumber mill for log watering. In 1989, a developer stepped forward with a proposal to recyclewater from another wastewater treatment plant for a major proposed golf course. This projectwas completed in 1992. Today, these two distribution systems are connected and delivertertiary treated recycled water to two golf courses, more than 60 commercial sites, and 1,200"dual plumbed" homes using recycled water in both front and back yard landscaping. This paper discusses the development and implementation of this successful recycled water program.
