The amount of recycled water being used is
modest but increasing.
The new station gave away about 10,000
gallons of recycled water in its second week, a
fraction of the nearly 10 million gallons a day
of drinking water that the district pumps to
77,000 people in Dublin and the Dougherty
Valley in San Ramon.
"It's a drop in the bucket in the big picture,"
Gallagher said, "but I think this project will go
a long way in helping change public attitudes
about using recycled water."
Just how long the recycled water station stays open is unclear. A wet winter could dry up interest
in the project. Water managers say they will reassess the future of the station at the end of the year.
