There are two wastewater treatment facilities near Temecula, CA: the Santa Rose Water Reclamation Facility and the Elsinore Valley Regional Sewage Treatment Plant.
The Santa Rosa Water Reclamation Facility in Murrieta, CA uses a biological treatment process followed by chemical clarification, filtration and disinfection.
The Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District in Lake Elsinore, CA recycles wastewater from nearby homes and businesses. The water is treated, filtered, and disinfected. This facility uses an additional level of treatment called "tertiary" treatment, which uses a state-of-the-art UV system to remove 99.9% of pathogens. It is often discharged back into a water body. The recycled water is uses include irrigating crops, golf courses, fishing lakes, landscape irrigation, and wetlands enhancement.
Great summary of sewage facilities in your area. I am surprised to learn about the state-of-the-art UV system in your local sewage facility. It seems very effective in removing almost all pathogens.
ReplyDeleteI;m also impressed about the use of the state-of-the-art UV system. I feel that this type of system should be used in water in agricultural areas. The water in these areas are known to contain various pesticides, and the use of such treatment would benefit the individuals who have access to that water.
