Monterey Peninsula Groundwater Replenishment Project

Ensuring a Diverse Water Supply

The Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency is very supportive of the Regional Project concept, in particular, projects that involve recycling of resources such as the Regional Urban Water Augmentation Project and the Groundwater Replenishment Project (GWR). The GWR component offers enormous benefits to our region and Cal-Am Water Company’s rate payers. The GWR is compatible with the overall Regional Project and, in fact, will actually enhance it. The GWR Project will not delay Regional Project implementation.

A Smart Addition to the DEIR Regional Project Alternative

The GWR Project is compatible with the overall Regional Project and will actually enhance it.  Monterey Peninsula needs diverse sources of water that provide our communities with a more secure future for residents and businesses.
The Monterey Peninsula Groundwater Replenishment Project will:

  • Create a reliable, publicly owned, safe water supply for Monterey Peninsula.
  • By implementing GWR, the other, more energy-intensive, options listed in the DEIR Regional Project could be smart-sized, thus enhancing the overall environmental benefits.
  • Diversify the Regional Project alternative for a more secure water supply. 
  • Be online sooner and use far less energy than most other water supply alternatives.
