Recycled Water
Since 2003, Sacramento County Water Agency (SCWA) has provided recycled water in the Laguna West, Lakeside, and Stonelake communities. Cosumnes Community Services District uses this water for irrigation purposes, thereby conserving and extending the life of our precious drinking water resources. SCWA charges 30% less for using recycled water. The costs savings help us keep Landscape and Lighting Assessment Fees low.
In the future, Cosumnes CSD may implement a recycled water, or gray water, program to irrigate landscaped areas with treated wastewater from Cosumnes CSD facilities. Gray water refers to reusable wastewater from bathroom sinks, bath and shower drains, and clothes washing drains, that can be reused on-site, often for landscape irrigation. The use of gray water for irrigation is known to reduce the demand for fertilizer use.
