Climate change impacts, such as higher average temperatures and prolong drought conditions, have affected regional and local water supply reliability. The City of Santa Monica has long been a leader in promoting sustainability and is implementing several innovative water supply projects that leverages membrane technologies to develop alternative water supplies, including stormwater, dry weather urban runoff, and municipal wastewater to provide a diverse, sustainable, and drought-resilient local water supply. The City is developing the first membrane bioreactor system that will receive log removal credits for potable reuse in the State of California, the first stormwater treatment project in the State of California that will augment groundwater supplies via direct injection, and the first municipal flow reversal reverse osmosis system in the United States. Collectively, these alternative water supplies sources would reduce the City’s reliance on imported water supplies and meet over 90% of its water demands through local water resources.
