The Cañada Gobernadora Multipurpose Basin captures and naturally treats urban runoff and storm flows, and uses the urban return flows to help meet irrigation demands in the nearby community.
The project consists of a storm detention basin and a natural treatment system, a system to capture and divert flows to the wetlands, a pump station, and a pipeline to deliver flows to the Portola Reservoir, a recycled water reservoir located in Coto de Caza. The District is also connecting the Gobernadora transmission system to the Chiquita Water Reclamation Plant to deliver recycled water to the Portola Reservoir.
FACTS:
-The Gobernadora Basin is the fourth urban water capture basin located within the SMWD service area.
-Other basins within the District include the Horno Basin in Ladera Ranch, Upper Oso Creek Barrier in Mission Viejo, and Bell Canyon Project near Dove Canyon.
-Located in unincorporated southern Orange County, the Gobernadora Basin comprises approximately 35 acres.
