That effort was the first phase of a regional North San Diego County project. The facilities that were included in that Phase I project have been constructed and are in service. As a result of these previous successes, a larger group consisting often North County Agencies (Group) has been formed to investigate expanded use of recycled water within North San Diego County. The intent of this study will be to identify regional recycled water projects that create the best opportunity for Federal, State and local funding. SCOPE OF SERVICES The Scope of Services for this Phase II planning effort is to analyze existing and proposed recycled water facilities and evaluate each agency's ability to interconnect and maximize the use of recycled water within their combined service areas.
