  We’re Looking for Sponsors
  To Help Support
  Our Special Outreach Efforts

  • Emerging Professionals
  • Women in Water
  • Summer Splash!

  
  

  
  Outreach efforts for both Emerging Professionals and Women in Water have met with great success! Whether its panel discussions, facility tours, or social events for networking, the response has been tremendous, proving those who participate share our enthusiasm.

  And not surprisingly, there’s a great deal of enthusiasm for home brewed beer, as well, especially when it’s crafted by local water industry brewers using water from OCWD’s Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS), the world’s largest system for indirect potable reuse! Our Summer Splash tasting event has been an annual favorite for years.

  These special events all have undeniable appeal throughout the Orange County water community. We hope select corporations and public agencies will choose to partner with us to help realize our goals in 2026.

  Many benefits will accrue to our Sponsors, of course. For each event, select sponsors will be featured in all our promotional pieces for the event. They’ll also be prominently acknowledged at the event, and when possible permitted to make appropriate remarks to the group. In addition, all Sponsors are recognized throughout the year on the OCWA website and at our monthly Industry Insight presentations.

  All this for a donation of $500. You can choose which program you wish to support, be it Summer Splash, Women in Water, or Emerging Professionals.

  But act now! Plans are already in the works for exciting events.

  To become a 2026 Sponsor, signup at the link above.

  For further information, contact Dave Jones, OCWA Treasurer, or Taryn Kjolsing, OCWA President.

  November 18, 2026 Industry Insight Presentation: True Collaboration Under the Chino Basin Program Presented by: Adham Almasri, PE Advanced Water Treatment Program Manager Inland Empire Utilities Agency Dave & Busters Irvine Spectrum 661 Spectrum Center Drive Sign-In: 11:30 am Lunch at Noon Hosted by OCWA Construction projects gain significant value when public agencies and private firms collaborate in a meaningful way. This is seen most especially in the delivery of the finished product, The best way to attain such steadfast partnerships is through useful alignment of each group’s internal organizations, thereby creating a truly effective team effort. To illustrate this value, our November presentation will focus on “True Collaboration Examples under the Chino Basin Program.”  The Chino Basin Program (CBP) is an indirect potable reuse project with the primary goal to increase water resilience and sustainability for  the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA). To attain this, IEUA partnered with the City of Rialto to bring an external recycled water source to new plant they’re building for advanced treatment. Capital delivery of the program was ensured through an innovative partnership with Jacobs Engineering. Finally, two progressive design-build teams, J.F. Shea & TetraTech, along with Rados & Stantec, were brought into the partnership to help achieve cost certainty, and to realize the benefits of receiving value engineering in the life span of the projects. Together, this collaborative partnership is developing a remarkably efficient series of innovative water treatment and storage projects structured to modernize regional water supplies, storage, and delivery systems. Once implemented, these projects will address the immediate needs of the region while unlocking the potential for additional storage and water recycling projects in the future. To learn more about the nature of the partnership that’s been forged by these many varied groups be certain to attend OCWA’s November Industry Insight on Wednesday, November 18. Make plans now to join us. The partnership ideas you learn today may result in meaningful collaborations tomorrow!
