Riverside Recycled Water Project

Recycling Water Saves Drinking Water

In 2008, Riverside approved the Riverside Recycle Water Project which will use highly treated wastewater rather than high quality potable (drinkable) water to serve the agricultural and irrigation needs throughout the city.

The project is designed to pump the treated “recycled water” north, parallel to the Santa Ana River, and then throughout the city to irrigate parks, golf courses, and other public use facilities.

This plan will provide nearly 5 billion gallons of recycled water each year by 2015, and more than 13 billion gallons per year by 2030.
