Reclaimed Water

Reclaimed water is an important component of wise water management. Reclaimed water is derived from domestic wastewater and small amounts of industrial process water or stormwater.

The process of reclaiming water, sometimes called water recycling or water reuse, involves a highly engineered, multi-step treatment process that speeds up nature's restoration of water quality. The process provides a high-level of disinfection and reliability to assure that only water meeting stringent requirements leaves the treatment facility.
