Welcome to the scwd2 Seawater Reverse Osmosis Cooperative Desalination Program Web site. This program is evaluating the potential Desalination Plant in Santa Cruz to provide needed water supply during droughts, protect underground water aquifers, and improve water supply reliability for Santa Cruz and Soquel Creek Water District water users.
The City of Santa Cruz Water Department (SCWD) and Soquel Creek Water District (SqCWD) identified desalination as the best option for delivering an additional flexible and reliable water source. To take advantage of the benefits derived from a cooperative facility, SCWD and SqCWD have joined together to address their different needs and share in the program costs. While SCWD will address its drought protection needs under such a partnership, SqCWD will utilize the potential desalination plant to protect their ground water resources from saltwater intrusion. SCWD and SqCWD will continue to use conservation and curtailment requirements to maximize efficient use of water resources.
