Capital Improvement Program (CIP)

The Water Authority initiated the Capital Improvement Program in 1989 to plan and implement projects to meet the region's future water needs. In 2004, confirming its commitment to water supply diversity and reliability, the San Diego County Water Authority board of directors approved the addition of the Regional Water Facilities Master Plan projects to the agency’s Capital Improvement Program. Included in the additional projects is the development of water treatment, additional local water storage, and pipeline rehabilitation.

The Water Authority receives up to 90 percent of its water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. The CIP will reduce this overreliance on a single supplier and improve water reliability by diversifying the region’s water supply portfolio. It will also enhance the aqueduct system that delivers water to member agencies, which serve 3 million residents. Projects included in the CIP will:

• Establish a Water Authority-owned water treatment plant to increase local production of treated water.
• Increase local water storage by 100,000 acre-feet.
• Construct new facilities to increase operational flexibility and capacity to deliver water, particularly during times of peak usage.
• Rehabilitate existing facilities by replacing or relining aging pipelines.
• Eliminate bottlenecks in the present pipeline system.
