California: Las Galinas to Expand Water Recycling Capacity
WateReuse Association member Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District is preparing to break ground on a three year, multimillion dollar project to replace its wastewater treatment facilities and expand water recycling capacity. The project will increase the plant’s recycled water production capacity from 1.4 million gallons a day to 5.4 million gallons per day. The new facility will produce cleaner water and discharge less of it into the bay. Read More.
North Carolina: Cape Fear Considers Water Reuse for Long Range Needs
