Chula Vista, CA
Proposal for Partners for Places
Spring 2015
Project Title:
Advancing Chula Vista’s Resiliency through Water Reuse Opportunities
Purpose of Project:
To instigate the next level of water management and resiliency that supports the City’s
broader goal of becoming a sustainable world-class city.
Brief description of project goals, strategy, and key activities (250 words or less):
Advancing Chula Vista’s Resiliency through Water Reuse Opportunities, a partnership between the
City of Chula Vista and the San Diego Foundation, will result in a formal Water Reuse Framework
to guide the City’s expansion of water reuse and conservation efforts. The Framework will include a
cost-benefit analysis of short and long-term water reuse strategies (i.e., on-site water harvesting,
centralized storm water capture and reuse, wastewater reuse, and graywater) that incorporates public
recommendations and input. In addition, the Framework will assist in revealing the best strategies
for implementation in Chula Vista, which can be supported through state, federal, and/or private
funding. Key activities include research and analysis; public presentations and convenings to
encourage resident action and maintain the already documented public support for water reuse; and
identification of strategies that have the highest likelihood of success.
