The recycled water program is mandated by state law to the extent that the Director of Environmental Health is responsible for cross-connection control and abating public health hazards resulting from the use of recycled water. State law allows the delegation of regulatory functions from the State Department of Health Services to the County Department of Environmental Health.
The Department of Environmental Health reviews plans for proposed sites for recycled water uses. Plans and applications can be submitted to DEH at 5201 Ruffin Road, Suite C, San Diego, CA 92123 in person or by mail.
Recycled water sites must also pass an initial cross-connection control shut down test and every four years thereafter. This can be coordinated with the water district supplying the recycled water.
