PWC also implements a water reuse program at the two water reclamation facilities. The treated water produced from each plant is used to irrigate approximately 40 acres of landscaped turf at the two facilities. The recycled water is also utilized for in-plant uses such as seal water, cleaning of equipment, and for various plant processes.
