KTVU report on ISD's Recycle Water Programs

ISD's Residential Fill Station gets busier by the day...

Since opening on July 20, Ironhouse Sanitary District's Residential Recycled Water Fill Station has given away more than 1 Million gallons of water to Oakley and Bethel Island residents interested in keeping their grass and plants green over the summer during the drought.

Here are the total number of gallons given away by day to the residents during the month of August:

New sign ups to receive free recycled water are taken on hour after open business hours:

Monday and Wednesday: 1 pm to 7 pm  (regular hours noon to 7 pm)

Saturday: 9 am to noon (regular hours 8 am to noon)

In the next couple of weeks the Residential Recycled Water Fill Station hours will change to be open six days per week. Keep an eye out for more information.

Update for Residential Recycled Water Fill Station

Work has started on the new pipeline that will send water directly from a storage hold at ISD Water Recycling Facility to the Residential Recycled Water Fill Station. Once the pipeline is installed it will be much easier for ISD staff to make sure water is available at the fill station all day long.

Many of you have been waiting for the pipeline to be installed in hopes of increased hours and days at the fill station and that is still being planned. Hopefully we will have more news on that front in the days to come.

In the meantime thank you for being patient with us. We are a small district and still learning all the ins and outs of keeping a program like this running with the increasing demand for the recycled water.

Here is a chart of the water usage since opening on June 20.
