Dublin San Ramon to Carry Out Water Recycling Expansion Study

Dublin San Ramon Services District has received a grant from the US Department of Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation to conduct a feasibility study for a recycled water distribution system expansion project.

The $24m feasibility study will analyse a project to design and build an expansion of the Jeffrey G Hansen water recycling plant and the distribution network needed to deliver recycled water for irrigation purposes in areas of Dublin, California.

The expansion of the water recycling plant will cost $13m, and $10.9m will be required to build the distribution infrastructure.

If built, the project will reduce potable water demand by 113 million gallons per year.

The feasibility study is expected to be completed by the end of 2012.
