1 Tier III Beyond Conservation - Integration of Reclaimed Water Don Safrit, P.E. McKim & Creed, P.A.

2 Reclaimed Water Terms Water Reuse is Not Disposal! You are Recycling a Valuable Resource!

3 Improvements in Treatment Capabilities

4 Current Reuse Practices

5 Use of Reclaimed Water - Irrigation Golf Courses, Residential Lawns, Agricultural Sites, Cemeteries, Parks, School Grounds, Commercial / Industrial Site Grounds, Landscape Areas, Roadways, and Other Similar Landscaped Areas

6 Other Uses of Reclaimed Water Industrial purposes such as process or cooling water; Aesthetic purposes such as decorative ponds or fountains, fire protection, dust control, street cleaning and other similar uses Bulk reuse programs

7 Other Uses of Reclaimed Water Fire Protection Urinal / Toilet Flushing Chillers / Cooling Pollution Abatement Commercial / Industrial Buildings, Hotels or Motels

8 Future Trends More efficient use of our water resources Conservation Agricultural reuse for food & non-food crops Residential reuse Indoor reuse Planned direct & indirect potable reuse

9 All Water Reuse Systems Legend no limit indicated <100,000 gpd >100,000 gpd and < 1 mgd >1 mgd and < 3 mgd > 3 mgd
