13511. The Legislature finds and declares that a substantial portion of the future water requirements of this state may be economically met by beneficial use of recycled water.
The Legislature further finds and declares that the utilization of recycled water by local communities for domestic, agricultural, industrial, recreational, and fish and wildlife purposes will contribute to the peace, health, safety and welfare of the people of the state. Use of recycled water constitutes the development of “new basic water supplies” as that term is used in Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 12880) of Part 6 of Division 6.
(Amended by Stats. 1995, Ch. 28, Sec. 27. Effective January 1, 1996.)
