Local Section Award Highlight
Cayucos Sustainable Water Project
Forward Thinking Sustainable Solution
Working collaboratively through planning, design, and construction, WSC and the Cayucos Sanitary District envisioned and delivered a state-of-the-art solution that benefits the community: a new water resource recovery facility outside the coastal zone that creates a sustainable water supply from a previously disposed water resource and complies with the Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements.
The project consists of two phases. Phase 1 includes construction of a new Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF), related conveyance pipelines, production of disinfected tertiary treated water for agricultural irrigation, process water, fire protection and discharge to the new ocean outfall.
The new WRRF can produce Title 22 compliant recycled water, a significant benefit to local control of the community’s water sustainability and portfolio. The new .34 MGD greenfield water resource recovery facility—created a locally controlled supply of high-quality water that will be used for agricultural irrigation and to offset demand for potable water. The facility also positions the community for future direct or indirect potable reuse(phase 2), and is an important step in creating a local drought-proof water supply for Cayucos.
Treatment Processes at the new facility include primary (coarse screening, grit removal, and fine screenings), Secondary (activated sludge bioreactor with pre- and post-anoxic solids dewatering), and Tertiary (micro-filtration, UV disinfection, and future reverse osmosis) systems.
