5.7 San Jose's Sewage Treatment Facility

The San Jose-Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility works 24/7 cleaning all of Silicon Valley’s wastewater. The Facility serves 1.4 million residents, over 17,000 business in 8 cities, and four sanitation districts. The facility treats an average of 110 million gallons of wastewater per day and uses a treatment process that stimulates the way nature cleans water. When I was completing this research, I also found that San Jose-Santa Clara Regional Wastewater facility is the largest advanced wastewater treatment facility in the western US. The site also states its plans for the future which include the integration of cutting edge treatment technologies into its processes and the rebuilding of the infrastructure.
