On August 9, 1997 staff at the Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency's
(MRWPCA or Agency) Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (RTP) moved into a
newly constructed administration building. With occupancy of this new building,
MRWPCA became the first commercial, industrial, and/or governmental agency in the
region with a dual-plumbing system to supply recycled water to non-potable interior
plumbing fixtures. This paper will focus on the intergovernmental coordination
necessary to win approval of this project. The objectives of this paper are
to: provide a general overview of the dual plumbing system and highlight some of
the unique physical features of the system and discuss other recycled water uses at
the RTP; discuss the planning process and intergovernmental coordination issues and
public policy issues related to interior use of recycled water; describe the testing
requirements and restrictions required by local regulatory agencies; and, briefly
discuss future trends related to indoor use of recycled water. Includes 4 references.
