A new irrigation system is now up and running in Dublin, and it is expected that it will save the city millions of gallons of drinking quality water every year.
The Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) has completed work on an 3.6 mile long extension to its system for distributing recycled water into Western Dublin.
This is being used to provide irrigation for schools, parks and commercial sites. It is hoped that this will result in a savings that will provide enough drinking water for 610 families every year.
When a project such as this is undertaken, Brochures can be distributed to area residents who live in the area serviced by new system, explaining both how it works and how it can benefit them.
The project, which came with a price tag of $5.1m, marks the first time that the system of pipes has extended west beyond Interstate 680. The pipeline installation was completed in December, and then the conversion of the current irrigation systems began.
The DSRSD president D. L. (Pat) Howard remarked that this new system will allow the area to be drought resistant and make use of alternative water sources, making it less dependent on the Delta for its supply. As new areas of Dublin are developed in the future, pipes will be installed for carrying both drinking and recycled water. This can be done before the streets are constructed.
