HOW EMWD CONTINUES TO USE EVERY DROP TWICE
As an industry leader in recycled water, EMWD is proud to offer a cost-effective and sustainable water supply for its customers.
Why is recycled water so important?
Recycled water provides many benefits for EMWD customers: it is a future-proof water supply that is not subject to restrictions during periods of water supply shortages, and is priced lower than drinking water sources.
For many organizations—including agricultural customers—the benefits equate to a safe, sustainable, and cost-effective water supply.
Is recycled water safe?
Recycled water has been in use since the 1960s and is safe for irrigation and multi-use purposes as it is currently used at more than 80 schools, parks, and other recreational facilities within EMWD’s service area.
EMWD is constantly working on finding ways to maximize on its resources, using every water drop twice and using 100 percent of its water supply for beneficial reuse.
After all, the water we use today is the same water that has been around since the stone-age.
