The City of Oceanside received a $403,785 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Water Recycling and Desalination Construction Programs (CFDA 15.504). The funding supports the Oceanside Water Reuse, Recycling and Seawater Desalination Feasibility Study, which will evaluate alternatives to expand treatment and beneficial use of wastewater effluent, as well as the capture and reuse of stormwater and desalination of seawater. The study will update the city's estimated recycled water demand and seasonal patterns, and develop comparative cost information for all alternatives. The optimal alternative will be selected and further evaluated to include all required elements of a Title XVI Feasibility Study. This project aims to develop a drought-proof, new water supply for the City of Oceanside's customers by increasing water reuse, recycling, and desalination capabilities. The grant award period is from July 2024 to August 2025.
