Since 1994, the Carmel Area Wastewater District (CAWD), the Pebble Beach Community
Services District (PBCSD), and the Pebble Beach Company (PBCo) have been operating their
Water Reclamation Project for the treatment and delivery of recycled water to seven world-class
golf courses in Pebble Beach, California. The Water Reclamation Project saves an average of
650 acre-feet per year of potable water. However, the original project goal of eliminating the use
of potable water for golf course irrigation has not been achieved for two principle reasons:
during the irrigation season, the daily golf course demand irrigation regularly exceeds the
wastewater supply that is treated through the recycled water treatment facilities; and,
golf course greens and fairways are flushed with potable water to reduce the negative
impact on turf grass quality from sodium and salts in the recycled water.
Eliminating the use of potable water at the golf courses continues to be the objective for the
Water Reclamation Project. CAWD, PBCSD, and PBCo are implementing the Salinity
Management Project to address recycled water quality and quantity problems. PBCo and PBCSD
are developing a project for year-round storage of recycled water in a reservoir to address the
recycled water supply problem. After evaluating several alternatives to resolve the Water
Reclamation Project water quality problems, PBCo and CAWD are proceeding with the
implementation of recycled water desalination treatment facilities consisting of a
microfiltration/reverse osmosis membrane treatment process. Includes tables, figures.
