Scotts Valley resident Bill Ekwall was first in line at Scotts Valley Water District's new Recycled Water Fill Station on Wednesday. In partnership with the City of Scotts Valley, the District is offered recycled water to Scotts Valley residents up to 250

On Wednesday, August 26, at 3:00 p.m., the Scotts Valley Water District opened their Recycled Water Fill Station. The “Station” is located behind the Scotts Valley Library at 251 Kings Village Road in Scotts Valley.

According to J.M. Brown, spokesperson for SVWD, recycled water is wastewater that has been through multiple treatment processes to assure that it meets the California Department of Public Health quality and safety standards. To date, SVWD has delivered about 530 million gallons of recycled water to customers. Brown says that it is important to know that “SVWD is a regional leader in the distribution of recycled water.

Scotts Valley residents may receive up to 250 gallons of recycled water per day free of charge. The pumping schedule is: 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and on Saturdays it is 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Receiving the free recycled water should defray the negative impact of drought by using the water to irrigate gardens and landscaping. Visit http:/svwd.org/your-water/recycled-water.
