Could the city just use the treated water for other purposes?
For the last 20 years, the City has been able to deliver all of our treated wastewater to a local nursery between May 1st and October 31st for irrigation. However, the City still produces treated wastewater in the winter when irrigation is not possible. As part of the detailed discharge alternatives evaluation, the city conducted outreach and studied options for providing the treated water to other large property owners and agricultural users.
