I live and work in San Jose California, Santa Clara
County. The sewage facility in this community is the San Jose-Santa Clara
Regional Wastewater Facility. It is the largest advanced wastewater treatment
facility in the western United States. It works “24/7 to clean Silicon Valley’s
wastewater to very high national standards, protecting public health and environment
and supporting the economy.”
The facility serves residents and businesses in eight
cities and four sanitation districts including:
- Cities of San Jose, Santa Clara, Milipitas
- Cupertino, Campbell, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Saratoga Sanitary District
- County Sanitation Districts 2-3 and Burbank Sanitary District
This must be a huge facility! I cannot imagine the amount of wastewater from eight highly populated cities.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little shocked with there only being one facility for eight cities. That's a lot of waste at once. I think it should work 27/7 when servicing eight cities.
