Every few days we are posting our Residential Recycled Water use chart and if you take a look, you'll see that more and more residents are finding uses for ISD's recycled water. You can't image how happy that makes the Board and Staff at ISD. We've been excited about the high quality water we've been producing since opening the new Water Recycling Facility in 2011 and this is our chance to let it shine.
As with any pilot program we are going to face growing pains, but ISD's staff is working to fix the issues as they pop up. As we are a small district we are working to keep the cost of providing water free to our residents down. We set up a method that would allow us to store our highly monitored recycled water in tanks and then placed them in an easy accessible location on our property.
Upon opening on June 20 we had one- 21,000 gallon storage tank, but quickly noted that would not be big enough. We brought in a second tank during the first week. Now going into week four, we are adding a third storage tank. We are hoping this will allow us to store up to 58,000 gallons of recycled water.
We are only open for four hours this Saturday so these tanks should see us through. We are continuing setting up new ways to keep the tanks full for our longer weekday hours and hopefully we will have all the kinks worked out over the next couple of weeks. Thanks for being patient with us.
Our Saturday hours are currently 8 am to noon and we will be open again on Monday from noon to 7 pm.
Have a great weekend!
