  • Contact made between West Basin and customer
  • Basic information is exchanged – potential use and amount of recycled water / role of West Basin in process
  • Determination of feasibility for West Basin to serve site
  • Determination of interest by customer
  • Develop drawings of retrofit based on customer plans
  • Determination of feasibility for customer conversion
  • Submit plans to Department of Public Health (DPH) for review
  • Site inspection prior to construction by DPH
  • Retrofit construction with ongoing inspection by DPH and West Basin
  • Completion of retrofit construction and final inspection by DPH including cross connection testing
  • After approval by DPH, conversion is completed by connecting recycled water
