Southern Orange County, CA is mostly dependent on imported drinking water. We're committed to developing local, reliable, and sustainable water supplies to reduce our dependence on drinking water that comes from hundreds of miles away. We're proud to have California's first recycled water swimming lake, Lake Mission Viejo, and Orange County's largest recycled water reservoir, Trampas Canyon.
