Desert Water Agency is proud to own and operate a water recycling facility. The facility produces highly treated water from wastewater which meets all State of California Department of Health Services requirements for unrestricted use. The recycled water is supplied at reduced rates to large water users, and electrical energy is saved because reclaimed water displaces pumped groundwater at 25% of the required energy. Reclaimed water users also benefit by reduced fertilizer costs. Our community as a whole benefits too, since reclaiming wastewater reduces the potential for nitrate pollution of our groundwater supply.

At the plant, the water enters the chemical feed structure where chemicals are added to aid in the filtration process. The water then flows through the treatment modules where it is filtered. Following filtration it is disinfected with chlorine and then pumped to a storage reservoir where clear, high quality, odor-free water awaits use on golf courses, parks, and green belt areas.
