Thank you to the City of Palm Springs and utility company Veolia for hosting us on a tour of the City’s wastewater treatment plant today! After the water is treated at the facility, it travels to DWA’s recycled water plant where it is treated again and delivered to our recycled water customers to irrigate areas such as public golf courses, street medians and parks. This partnership helps save valuable drinking water!
