Rainbow MWD Board Learns About Potential Reclamation Plant, Recycled Water System

The Aug. 23 meeting of the Rainbow Municipal Water District (MWD) board included a presentation on the district’s potential water reclamation plant and recycled water distribution system. Although the future infrastructure was a non-voting item, the board agreed with Rainbow staff’s recommendation that the various options should be evaluated in further detail. “The board gave direction to take the next phase, which is to do a high-level analysis,” said Rainbow general manager Tom Kennedy. In January 2015, the Rainbow board awarded a professional services contract to Atkins to update Rainbow’s water and wastewater master plans.
