SPECIAL FEATURES OF MEMBER AGENCY
With no local water, Las Virgenes Municipal Water District provides 100% of potable supplies with water purchased from Metropolitan Water District. The Las Virgenes Reservoir is filled with MWD supplies during periods of low demand and holds up to a six-month supply for emergency backup.
Las Virgenes has long been active in promoting the use of recycled water to irrigate community greenspaces such as parks, school grounds and commercial landscapes.
Recycled water from the district's Tapia Water Reclamation Facility
has reduced demand for imported potable supplies by 20%. Comprehensive
and innovative conservation programs further contribute to reducing
water use. Known for its environmental stewardship, the district
is realizing its goal of total beneficial reuse of waste products
with its composting facility. This facility transforms biosolids
into rich garden compost and uses methane gas from biosolids
digestion to generate electricity, using fuel cells.
