What is the Advanced Purified Water Facility at American Flat?
The Advanced Purified Water Facility at American Flat offers regional long-range water supply sustainability benefits. This project will take recycled water from the Reno-Stead Water Reclamation Facility and put it through a state-of-the-art advanced water purification process, producing clean, safe, purified water that meets or exceeds state and federal drinking water standards. The resulting Category A+ Advanced Purified Water will be recharged into the groundwater aquifer and stored for initial use in agricultural irrigation. In the future, after further extensive testing and evaluation, it is intended to be used to enhance our regional potable water supply.
The new Advanced Purified Water Facility will be located across from the Reno-Stead Water Reclamation Facility at Lear Boulevard and Military Road, and the Polishing Facility will be near the American Flat Farm, north of the Stead Airport.
OneWater Nevada is a collaborative effort of regional agencies exploring a comprehensive approach to extending the resiliency and sustainability of local water resources for future generations.
The Advanced Purified Water Facility at American Flat is a joint effort of the City of Reno and Truckee Meadows Water Authority.
