Reclaimed Wastewater

The reclaimed water that comes out of our wastewater treatment centers is very clean. Not clean enough for drinking, but good enough for just about everything else. Rather than sending millions of gallons of cleaned water straight back into Puget Sound and then waiting for it to evaporate and return as rain or snow in the Cascades... we could be using it for other purposes which would dramatically reduce the need to tap our drinking water supply.
