Recycled Water Delivery in Marin County

Do you have drought-stressed trees or plants? If so, and you live in the County or its surrounding areas you could have recycled water delivered to your door!  Marin Water’s website explains some of its benefits. “Using recycled water for irrigation saves our drinking water supply and benefits the San Francisco Bay”. 

UC Agriculture and Natural Resources (UCANR) recommends getting your trees inspected to find out if they are drought-stressed.  They are your highest value plants and without sufficient water, they’re vulnerable to pests or diseases.  See our recent post that describes symptoms of drought-stressed trees.

This post has what you need to know about recycled water, how it is delivered, and its benefits.

What is Recycled Water?

It is wastewater that has been treated chemically and biologically.  And, it’s highly regulated for safety by the California Department of Public Health. The recycled water program began as a collaboration of eleven North Bay water districts.  Their goal – a more reliable water supply. An increasing number of districts in the San Francisco Bay Area are also offering recycled water as an alternative to potable water.

Why Should I Use Recycled Water?

Marin Water has now restricted irrigation with potable water to spray, once a week; drip twice a week. Because of these mandates, your trees and other high-value plants may be at risk.

What are the Benefits of Recycled Water?

It’s exempt from water restrictions.

It conserves our potable (drinking) water.  In fact, every gallon of recycled water used saves a gallon of potable water.

Higher nutrient levels than drinking water, which is beneficial to plant growth.  It can reduce the need for fertilization.
