From page 91...
... Mills, Orange County Water District While I served as General Manager of the Orange County Water District, California, the District embarked on several new areas of water supply development that required the input of the latest scientific information. The information was needed both to address the public health risk and to satisfy the public's need for information that would help gain their acceptance of the projects.
From page 92...
... The first of these projects, Water Factory 21, was built in 1973 to provide a supply source for a sea water intrusion control project. This advanced wastewater treatment plant became the signature project for the District and was the first planned waste water reclamation project for indirect potable use in the United States.

... The inflows, as expected, resemble wastewater discharges, but the product water's character resembles more that of natural water. Use of a Science Advisory Panel to Guide Research in the Safety of the Use of Effluent Dominated River for Groundwater Recharge The Health and Water Quality Investigation Because the Santa Ana River is composed mostly of municipal wastewater during low flow conditions and urban and dairy animal runoff during storm events, the district embarked on a multi-disciplinary, multi-year investigation into possible health effects related to this water supply source.

... when residing in filtered Santa Ana River water as compared to those residing in imported water. Use of an Advisory Panel to Define Health Risks of the Groundwater Replenishment System Since its inception in 1975, Water Factory 21 has injected in the coastal portion of the basin more than 150 Mm3 of highly treated wastewater.
From page 95...
... It has successfully expedited the flow of scientific information regarding water quality enhancements of degraded river water and the use of waste waters form groundwater recharge. Depending on the type of decision to be made, the District has sought information using a range of methods and sources, as was most appropriate to the decision.
