1555	1555	that should be reclaimed for beneficial purposes to meet public 1104

1557	1557	discharge of domestic wastewater through ocean outfalls 1106
1558	1558	compromises the coastal environment, quality of life, and local 1107
1559	1559	economies that depend on those resources. The Legislature 1108
1560	1560	declares that more stringent treatment and management 1109
1561	1561	requirements for such domestic wastewater and the subsequent, 1110
1562	1562	timely elimination of ocean outfalls as a primary means of 1111

1566	1566	outfalls for this purpose, along with associated pumping and 1115
1567	1567	piping systems, are prohibited. Each domestic wastewater ocean 1116

1659	1659	reuse requirement may be apportioned between the facilities 1178
1660	1660	served by the outfalls, including flows diverted to other 1179
1661	1661	facilities for 100-percent reuse before December 31, 2025. 1180
1662	1662	Utilities that shared a common ocean outfall for the discharge 1181
1663	1663	of domestic wastewater on July 1, 2008, regardless of which 1182
1664	1664	utility operates the ocean outfall, are individually responsible 1183
1665	1665	for meeting the reuse requirement and may enter into binding 1184
1666	1666	agreements to share or transfer such responsibility among the 1185
1667	1667	utilities. If treatment in addition to the advanced wastewater 1186

1669	1669	is needed to support a functioning reuse system, the treatment 1188
1670	1670	must be fully operational by December 31, 2025. 1189
