Recycled Water
We live in an arid state with a history of prolonged periods of drought. To help conserve drinking water, Petaluma uses recycled water to irrigate urban landscapes at schools, parks, business parks, and public landscape areas.
Petaluma’s Recycled Water History
Petaluma began using recycled water in 1976, when a local farmer demonstrated that recycled water could be used to successfully irrigate a range of crops under local soil and climate conditions. This early effort laid the groundwork for the City’s extensive recycled water program. Today, Petaluma has a total of 24 recycled water customers and serves recycled water for irrigation of vineyards, agricultural land, golf courses, parks, schools, business parks, and other public landscape areas.
