THE CAWELO WATER DISTRICT (DISTRICT), LOCATED IN KERN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, WILL CONSTRUCT THE REUSE OF PRODUCED WATER PROJECT THAT CONSISTS OF TWO TEMPORARY HOLDING RECEIVING RESERVOIRS AND A GRAVITY PIPELINE TO CONNECT THE NEW RECEIVING RESERVOIRS TO AN EXISTING RETENTION RESERVOIR. THE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS WILL ADD CONVEYANCE CAPACITY, ALLOWING FOR THE DELIVERY AND REUSE OF TREATED WATER FROM A SMALL INDEPENDENT OIL PRODUCER. THIS WATER WILL BE BLENDED WITH THE DISTRICTS SURFACE AND GROUNDWATER SUPPLIES TO BE USED FOR AGRICULTURAL IRRIGATION AND GROUNDWATER RECHARGE. THE PROJECT WILL IMPROVE DROUGHT RESILIENCY BY PROVIDING A NEW, FIRM WATER SUPPLY OF UP TO 2,890 ACRE-FEET PER YEAR. THIS PROJECT IS SUPPORTED BY THE POSO CREEK INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN AND DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLAN THAT WAS DEVELOPED WITH ASSISTANCE FROM A WATERSMART DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLANNING GRANT.
