Santa Clara Valley Water District of Central California Wins Project of the Year Award for Its Recent Completion of the NewWater RecyclingFacility
According to the association, the Project of the Year Award recognizes projects whose significance and contributions to the community continue to advance the water reuse industry. In its award letter, the association wrote that "Santa Clara Valley Water District has demonstrated continued dedication to the water reuse community, and the WateReuse Association gratefully acknowledges the contributions you have made."
The association's award recognizes the completion of the water district's new water recycling facility, the Silicon Valley Advanced Water Purification Center. Located in northern San José off Zanker Road, the facility produces up to 8 million gallons a day of highly purified water. It is the largest facility of its kind in Northern California.
The new facility uses three advanced technologies to purify water which has already undergone two levels of quality wastewater treatment, sourced from the San José-Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility (RWF). At the new purification center, the water goes through microfiltration, reverse osmosis and ultraviolet light to produce water that is so pure, it is expected to match drinking water quality.
Instead of going to the bay, this water is distributed via the regional "purple pipe" recycled water system, delivered by South Bay Water Recycling (SBWR), and used for industrial cooling towers, golf courses and car washes, throughout San José, Milpitas and Santa Clara.
