Design Guide For

Recycled Water Use Exhibit

Effective: June 1, 2016 Revised September 28, 2016

Santa Margarita Water District Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

The purpose of the Recycled Water Use Exhibit (RWU) is to provide a simplified map of the

irrigation system to identify pertinent site, irrigation, and civil improvement information for

submittal to the State of California and Orange County Department of Environmental Health.

The RWU is now required as part of the construction document package for submittal during the

plan check process. The exhibit is composed of two (2) pages and are required to be located

immediately after the Title Page of the construction document package.

The following are requirements of the RWU:

1. Recycled Water Use Exhibit, page 1 of 2

a. The scale of the exhibit shall be set to show the entire project’s limit of work on

one sheet

b. Using symbols and a legend, denote differing landscape maintenance

responsibilities within and adjacent to the project. The following are examples:

i. H.O.A. maintained using recycled water for irrigation

ii. H.O.A. maintained using domestic water for irrigation

iii. Private homeowner maintained using domestic water for irrigation

c. Using symbols and a legend, denote the following:

i. Fire hydrants

ii. Blow off valves

iii. Air Vacuum relief valves

iv. Recycled/domestic mainline crossings

v. FDDC detector checks

vi. Recycled water warning signs

vii. Drinking fountains

viii. Decorative water fountain features

ix. Recycled water meters

x. Domestic water meters

xi. RP backflows

xii. Irrigation controllers

d. Using text notation, identify any of the following:

i. Pools

ii. Spas

iii. Water play features

iv. Eating areas

v. Food preparation (i.e. barbeques, kitchens, bars, sinks, etc.)

vi. Lakes, ponds, or other bodies of water

vii. Wells, if so, what type.

viii. Cooling towers

e. Identify the recycled water irrigated areas using a solid hatch with color

‘PANTONE 243 U’

f. Identify the domestic water irrigated areas using a solid hatch with color

‘PANTONE 285 U’

g. Identify the civil and mechanical (located in the landscape between the water

meter and structure) pipelines each with a unique linetype and color as follows:

i. Recycled water lines – magenta with unique linetype

ii. Potable water lines prior to the water meter – blue with unique linetype

iii. Potable water lines after the water meter to the building, pool, drinking

fountain or other private facility – blue with unique linetype

iv. Private fire sprinkler water lines – red

h. Identify the physical separations of recycled and domestic water irrigated

landscape areas - such as mow curbs, block walls, or other barriers. Sidewalks

separating recycled and domestic irrigated areas do not need to be identified.

i. Identify irrigation mainline pipe installed on the project utilizing unique color and

linetype for recycled versus domestic use.

j. Provide site notes with the following information:

i. Site name

ii. Location (address or intersection)

iii. Project type

iv. Boundary (adjacent streets)

v. Purpose of recycled water use

vi. Purpose of domestic water uses at site (if any)

vii. Owner during construction - name and phone number

viii. Owner after turnover - name and phone number

ix. Maintenance contact - name and number

x. Hours of irrigation operation

xi. Physical barriers used on site

xii. Cross connection testing type. This is to be left blank and filled out by the

Water District during plan review

xiii. Identification of any wells

xiv. Additional notes to identify special circumstances regarding uses of

recycled or domestic water deemed pertinent to The Department of

Environmental Health.

2. Recycled Water Use Exhibit, page 2 of 2

a. Include SMWD approved details for domestic and recycled water pipe crossings

and recycled water signage.

b. Include Santa Margarita Water District “Non-Domestic Standard Notes”
