San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, California, USA – Exploring purified recycled water for a resilient future

The PureWater Peninsula Project would generate up to 6 million gallons (23 million litres) per day of purified recycled water. This project would convey treated wastewater from Silicon Valley Clean Water to a new advanced water treatment facility to produce purified water that meets State and federal drinking water quality standards.

The purified recycled water would then be piped through new transmission lines to the San Francisco Public Utility Commission’s Crystal Springs Reservoir and then on to the Harry Tracy Water Treatment Plant before distribution to customers in northern San Mateo County and San Francisco.
