Are there any health or water quality laws that apply to recycled water?
There are very stringent water quality laws that apply to recycled water. The State Department of Health Services standards for recycled water are referred to as “Title 22.” These standards are incorporated in Title 22, Chapter 3, Division 4 of the California Code of Regulations, with stipulations applying to various types of reuse, and levels of required treatment. The Regional Water Quality Control Board is involved with respect to the use and application of recycled water and any associated runoff.
