Stormwater harvesting analysis and the concept designs are on hold until regulatory agencies set standards for Pure Water including water quality local limits requirements for diversion to Pure Water.
Stormwater harvesting projects can improve water quality, reduce flooding risk, and create new water supply. Depending on the extent of treatment, the harvested stormwater can be used for a variety of applications such as on-site reuse and watering, irrigation, wash water, use in water features like fountains, or conveying it to the sanitary sewer system for recycling and eventual potable use. Depending on the project and the water supply captured, it can reduce the amount of energy used to transport imported water.

Six harvesting projects are currently in the project initiation process: Carroll Canyon Dry Weather Flow Diversion; Tecolote Wet and Dry Weather Diversion; Rose Creek Wet and Dry Weather Diversion; Upper Chollas Creek Diversion Wet Weather Diversion; Upper Murphy Canyon Wet and Dry Weather Diversion; Lower Murphy Canyon Wet and Dry Weather Diversion.
