In Contra Costa County, Calif., a program is under way to institute a water‐reclamation project. The reclaimed water will be used by industrial plants in the area for cooling purposes. Several plans were considered before the water district settled on the reclamation project. Local industry participated in the decision‐making process, and tests are still under way to determine what treatment will be necessary to prepare the reclaimed water for use in cooling processes. Nevertheless, the project demonstrates that wastewater reclamation can provide an economic solution to water‐supply problems.
