When complete, the East County AWP Program will create a new, local, reliable and drought proof drinking water supply by recycling and reusing the region’s wastewater. Additionally, it will be one of the first potable reuse projects in the State of California to use the new reservoir augmentation regulations. The East County AWP is a collaborative partnership between Padre Dam Municipal Water District, Helix Water District, County of San Diego and the City of El Cajon.
