The Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) and East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) celebrated the finished expansion project at Jeffrey G. Hansen Water Recycling Plant in Pleasanton on August 15. The plant’s expansion will provide more recycled water in the Tri-Valley. The recycling plant is currently in operation.
The recycling plant has been operating since 2005. As California is in its drought years, the demand for more recycled water increased in the Tri-Valley. To solve this issue, the senior managers and the Recycled Water Authority (DERWA) authority manager worked together to expand the facility’s water production from 9.7 million gallons per day to 16.2 million gallons. Currently, they have a permit for up to 12.3 million gallons of water. They expect to reach their goal in the coming year.
