SANTEE, Calif. — In the near future, recycled wastewater could account for 30% of the drinkable water in the East county. The water would go through several purification steps at a new facility being built in Santee.
"There are drought impacts on the Colorado River in northern California where we get our imported water from. So it's a needed resource right here in our community," Kyle Swanson, the CEO of the Padre Dam Municipal Water District says.Similar facilities have rolled out in several states, and southern California already has one in Orange County. But the East County project is a little bit different.
