DETAILS: FUSD’s reclaimed water project is designed to benefit the environment and save both the District and taxpayers money by drastically reducing water consumption. It is one of four eco-friendly initiatives in the District, including electric buses, solar panels, and waste recycling.

As part of the project, a total of six Fontana Unified schools: Canyon Crest, Oak Park, and Shadow Hills elementary schools; Chaparral Academy of Technology; Southridge Tech Middle School; and Kaiser High had their existing landscape irrigation water supply converted to recycled water. Southridge Tech and Kaiser High are the first middle and high schools to be connected to recycled water within the City of Fontana and Fontana Water Company’s service area.
