Sustainability
Commitment to Environmental Stewardship
We take pride in recovering valuable resources from the sewage that enters the EchoWater Facility.
Water Recycling Program
After the treatment process, water is either discharged to the bottom of the Sacramento River through an 800 foot-long pipe or distributed throughout the community for recycled water purposes.

Harvest Water
Beyond using recycled water for local parks and landscapes, our recycled water is treated to such a high standard that a portion of it can be used for Harvest Water–a program that will provide recycled water to irrigate agricultural land and existing habitats in southern Sacramento County.
Recycled Water Fill Station
Our recycled water can be used for approved uses like irrigating lawns, gardens, and landscaping, and our customers have access to free recycled water through our Recycled Water Fill Station.Learn More
