- Using Reclaimed Water for Municipal Water Supply (USWaterNews.com)
"When considering reclaimed wastewater for public water supplies, the public distinguishes between direct and indirect use. Adding highly treated wastewater directly into a water supply without storing it first in a reservoir is not a viable option. Indirect use is viable, however, and that approach was examined by the committee. Indirect use augments the drinking water supply by adding reclaimed treated water first to a lake, reservoir, or underground aquifer. The mixture of natural and reclaimed water is then subjected to normal water treatment before it is distributed as drinking water for the community. Since the 1960s, California's Los Angeles county has operated an indirect-use system in which wastewater, mixed with stormwater and river waters, supplies about 16 percent of total flow into groundwater basins. This mixture then is used as a source for drinking water supplies." 03-08
