The Cross Connection and Water Pollution
Control Program is responsible for the oversight of new
and converted recycled water re-use sites from the
planning stage through final approval. This
responsibility extends to consultation with project
managers and engineering staff regarding plan check;
attending construction meetings; conducting on-site
field reviews; and granting the final approval for the
safe use of recycled water. The objective is to convert
new and existing major landscape irrigation systems and
selected industrial facilities to recycled water
utilizing water quality criteria and guidelines for new
construction found in the "Purple Book", California
Health Laws Related to Recycled Water.
Recycled water is limited to use that is approved by
the California Department of Public Health, the Regional
Water Quality Control Board – Los Angeles Division, and
the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health. Any
unauthorized use of recycled water is prohibited.
Recycled water may only be used in those areas approved
by the local water utility company. Approval by the
local water utility company will only be granted upon
the fulfillment of all requirements of the applicable
regulatory agencies.
