The groundwater basin provides a water supply to 19 municipal water agencies and special districts that serve more than 2.4 million Orange County residents. The Orange County Water District's service area covers approximately 350 square miles and the District owns approximately 1,600 acres in and near the Santa Ana River, which it uses to capture water flows for groundwater recharge. Additionally, OCWD owns approximately 2,150 acres of land above the Prado Dam in the Prado Reservoir and uses that land for water conservation, water storage and water quality improvements.[1] OCWD's administrative offices and the Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) facilities are located in Fountain Valley, while OCWD operates various groundwater recharge facilities located in Anaheim and Orange. HistoryThe Orange County Water District was formed by an act of the California State Legislature in 1933 and the District Act was signed on June 14 of that year by then Governor James Rolph, Jr.[2] The Orange County Water District was designated as an Orange County Historical Civil Engineering Landmark in 2006.[3] FacilitiesGroundwater Replenishment SystemThe Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) takes highly treated wastewater from the Orange County Sanitation District and purifies it using microfiltration, reverse osmosis and ultraviolet light with hydrogen pyroxide. This produces high-quality water that exceeds state and federal drinking water standards. The GWRS has been operational since January 2008 and initially produced up to 70 million gallons of water daily.[4][5] After the completion of an upgrade in 2015, the plant now produces 100 million gallons per day with an expansion to provide up to 130 million approved on September 21, 2016.[6] OCWD and the Orange County Sanitation District were awarded the Stockholm Industry Water Award in 2008 for pioneering work to develop the Groundwater Replenishment System, the world’s largest water purification plant for groundwater recharge.[7] Groundwater recharge facilitiesOCWD operates groundwater recharge facilities in the Cities of Anaheim and Orange. A 30-year lease agreement was approved in January 2013 to allow the district to construct an injection water well and well facilities at the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center.[8] Facilities in Anaheim{{div col|colwidth=30em}}
