The advanced wastewater treatment (AWT) facility in Orange County, Calif., treats 0.66 cu m/sec of wastewater. Detailed cost data obtained during one year of operation are presented. The cost of producing reclaimed water is compared with the cost of importing water supplies. The plant's product water met all injection water quality requirements. Typical removal efficiency of the AWT process is summarized. The total cost of the blended water produced by the AWT plant is $90/1000 cu m capital and $131/1000 cu m operation and maintenance. The Orange County Water District believes that the future growth and economy of southern California will depend to a great extent on the continued development of wastewater reclamation.
