Secure Water Future

The Chino Basin Program will deliver a new Advanced Water Purification Facility. The facility will provide an additional 15,000 AF per year of advanced purified recycled water that will be stored in the Chino Basin each year. Recycled water supplies will be available for local use, to respond more effectively in case of emergencies or extended periods of drought.

Wide-spread Environmental Benefits

Water supplies exchanged for releases from Oroville Reservoir to the Feather River will support the Bay Delta ecosystem. The use of this water will provide pulse flows in the spring of dry and critical water years to benefit native fish species, primarily Chinook salmon.
