Santa Margarita Water District (SMWD) is committed to enhancing local water reliability and reducing dependence on imported water through the development of sustainable and innovative water infrastructure. One of the District’s most impactful projects is the San Juan Capistrano Groundwater Recovery Plant, which plays a vital role in treating local groundwater to supplement the region’s drinking water supply.
