Plant/Process Description:
Central San's state-of-the-art secondary
treatment facility can handle up to 55 million
gallons per day (mgd) of dry weather flow and 240
mgd of wet weather flow. In an effort to find new
and improved ways of treating wastewater, Central
San recently replaced its chlorine disinfection
system with ultraviolet disinfection, making us
the largest wastewater plant in the nation using
this process. Also we now produce our own
electricity through a cogeneration system that
saves about $1 million per year in electric
utility costs.
Central San has been involved in water recycling
since the early 1970s. We currently provide high
quality recycled water to customers located
adjacent to our treatment plant and in Pleasant
Hill.
Central San provides landscape irrigation water
that meets all the requirements of the State
Department of Health Services and the California
Regional Water Quality Control Board for
unrestricted landscape irrigation. Approved uses
include irrigation at schools, parks,
playgrounds, median strips and playing fields, as
well as dust control and industrial uses.
Recycling water means less water is diverted from
the Delta environment. Recycled water is a
valuable resource, especially during drought
years when water for landscape irrigation is less
available because of water rationing.
