SUMMARY: WaterCity
is the owner and operator of a laundry water recycling system installed at the
Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove. The AquaRecycle system (Model:
EMI 10GPM) has a 10 year life span and the cost of the equipment was $60,000.00.
This system uses fully automated water purification and treatment processes to
provide clean, disinfected and pre-heated water to the washing machines. The
system began operating on May 18, 2016 and has resulted in a 71% reduction in
laundry water use for the conference center. Average monthly savings equates to 130,000
gallons per month (Exhibit 6-B). The lifetime water savings is estimated
to be 47.8 Acre-feet. WaterCity is requesting a rebate in the amount of
$19,800.00 for the system (Exhibit 6-A). For the lifespan of the equipment the
saving equates to $418.00 per acre foot.
District Rule 141, Water
Conservation Rebates, states that Non-Residential Rebates for technology not
listed in the rule shall be considered by the Water Demand Committee with a
recommendation made to the Board.
This amount would be funded by the
Cal-Am Rebate Fund in the current budget.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board approve a rebate for $20,000.00 for WaterCity and recommend to the Board that the recommended Laundry Water Recycling rebate be granted.
