Helix also has storage rights of 10,000 acre feet in El Capitan Reservoir for water from Lake Cuyamaca, San Diego River tributaries, and imported water. Treated water is stored in the 30-million-gallon Grossmont Reservoir, under the grass at Harry Griffen Park, and 21 other storage tanks located throughout the District. The District has a total storage capacity of 63 million gallons for filtered water.
