Earlier this week we noted that treated waste water is going to be used to make artificial snow in Arizona this season, and we heard that recycled water from the wastewater treatment plant in Daly City will be used on the TPC Harding Park golf course in San Francisco.
This is reportedly the first recycled water project from the Public Utilities Commission, and it is estimated that the $9 million project could save an average of 230,000 gallons per day. While that is a drop in the bucket compared ot he 70 million gallons used per day city wide the plan is that this could be a good start. The idea here is that this will help save more drinking water for people and serve as a way to use this recycled water for the grass.
