Despite our successful
water recycling program, recycled water distribution for irrigation currently requires dedicated pipe networks.
Also, we cannot store a significant volume of recycled water when irrigation demands are low to use when they are higher.
As a result, only about 20 percent of our treated wastewater is converted into recycled water. As a result, we are embarking on Pure Water Roseville.
Like many communities, agencies are focusing on advanced treatment technologies to purify water for storage and other uses.
While we are not pursing an active project at this time, we are in the early stages of evaluating these technologies to determine compatibility with our water treatment and delivery systems as well as how they might provide further redundancy and flexibility for our community.
Diversifying our water resources is critically important. As important is the need to look at increased treatment options to meet the ever-changing requirements in discharging to our waterways.
