Recycling
EBMUD uses
recycled water and untreated water from local reservoirs as sources of
non-potable water. Recycled water is wastewater that has been highly
treated and disinfected to meet stringent and protective standards set
by the California Department of Public Health. Recycled water is not a
drinking water supply, but there are many appropriate uses for recycled
water.
