Many of us don\u2019t know enough about how the El Toro Water District (ETWD) works, and assume that the best way to conserve water during the drought is to not water turf and landscape. In fact, not watering in certain areas of the Village actually wastes water.\n  <\/p>\n<p>ETWD owns and operates its own water reclamation plant with the capacity to process 3.7 MGD (millions of gallons per day). Efficient operation of the plant depends on this water returning to the community for irrigation and industrial uses. With limited storage capacity, any reclaimed water that doesn\u2019t get used must be released into the ocean. If use of and demand for this large water volume decreases, that water ends up wasted.\n  <\/p>\n<p>With reclaimed water irrigation systems in gates 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, the Village is one of ETWD\u2019s biggest users. Additionally, use of reclaimed water is not affected by most drought restrictions.\n  <\/p>\n<p>Conversely, gates 1, 2, 3, 4, 11 and 14 are currently irrigated with potable water. To date, ETWD has declared a Level 2 water shortage which calls for a voluntary 15% reduction in water usage. Usage within the district has declined and if it continues to do so the district does not anticipate the imminent need for moving to Level 3.\n  <\/p>\n<p>For more information you can listen to <a
