If we don’t treat reclaimed water, it means putting water filled with bacteria, harmful chemicals, and human waste back into the environment—the environment from which we take water to use in our homes. For us, doing our jobs well keeps our city from experiencing a public health crisis, and sustains the environment for generations to come. Learn more about our role in protecting public health and the environment.
