San Ramon Valley Recycled Water Program - Danville & San Ramon Area Pipeline Construction
Using recycled water for irrigation helps save limited drinking water supplies, especially during droughts. Recycled water is not drinking water and is delivered through pipelines separate from the drinking water system. The San Ramon Valley Recycled Water Program (SRVRWP) is a partnership between EBMUD and the Dublin San Ramon Services District. This multi-phased project eventually will supply an annual average of 2.4 million gallons per day (mgd) of recycled water to irrigation customers in portions of Blackhawk, Danville and San Ramon. The first San Ramon customers began receiving recycled water in 2006. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), San Francisco District, is a federal partner in this project and provides construction management for those SRVRWP facilities funded by USACE, which during the spring and summer of 2011 included installation of 3 miles of pipeline in Danville and San Ramon. Federal stimulus funding was appropriated in 2009 directly to USACE through the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act for this construction, accelerating the schedule. EBMUD provided construction management assistance to USACE. While pipelines were installed in 2011 in areas of Danville and San Ramon, it will be many years before two pump stations that will bring recycled water from the SRVRWP treatment plant in Pleasanton to these areas of Danville and San Ramon, as well as to portions of Blackhawk, are funded, sited, designed, and constructed.
