Water Reclamation Facility

The Water Reclamation Facility has a treatment capacity of 10 million gallons per day (mgd) with a peak flow factor of 27 mgd. Water from homes, businesses, and industries are discharged to the collection system and is conveyed through a network of pipes and pumping stations to our central treatment facility. All wastewater entering the water reclamation facility is treated to meet public access reclaimed water standards. This water is used for industrial use, cooling towers, and irrigation of orange groves, nurseries and lawn irrigation.  Any excess water not used by the re-use customers is sent to the Dechlorination / Re-aeration Facility where the chlorine is removed from the water and aerated prior to discharge to the receiving stream.
