Ironhouse Recycled Water Facilities Reopen For the Summer

Press Release

by CC News

Ironhouse Sanitary District is reopening its Residential Recycled Water Fill Station to the community beginning July 1, 2024. Customers can take advantage of free recycled water available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through October 31, 2024.

Since its closure in May 2023, the station has undergone several upgrades and improvements including pressurizing and increasing the pipe size to 8” in diameter for better water flows, as well as adding signage and making the station more user-friendly. These upgrades allow Ironhouse to continue offering high-quality recycled water for outdoor watering needs while preserving drinking water and saving its customers money.

“Ironhouse’s investment into improving our recycled water offering displays our continued commitment to safeguarding our natural resources and providing a more sustainable watering option for our community,” said Ironhouse Assistant General Manager Tyson Zimmerman. “Using recycled water for irrigation and other tasks is an important step in preserving our potable water.”

The Recycled Water Fill Station opened in 2015 to provide City of Oakley and Bethel Island residents with free recycled water. Customers can dispense up to 300 gallons of water per visit for personal use including watering trees, gardens, and vegetables, as well as lawn irrigation, washing cars, cleaning outdoor furniture, and washing hard surfaces.

Before taking home recycled water, customers must complete a sign-up process that includes filling out a Resident Recycled Water Fill Station Agreement form and attending a brief 15-minute training. Additionally, customers located outside the service area can pay a $35 annual fee to gain access to Ironhouse’s recycled water. Ironhouse produces 2.6 million gallons of water daily, using a modern filtration and ultra-violet light process that uses zero chemicals. This high-quality treated water preserves the region’s water supply.

The Residential Recycled Water Fill station is located near Ironhouse’s headquarters in Oakley at 450 Walnut Meadows Drive.
