M5.7 Sewage Facilities

When I was researching the sewage facilities for Walnut Creek, CA I found three different water treatment plants. Envirozone Technologies Inc, East Bay Municipal Utility District, and Central Contra Costa Sanitary Treatment plant. The Walnut Creek Water Treatment plant within the East Bay Municipal treatment showed to be making major improvements that were completed in August of 2014. EBMUD added two new filters, a new plumbing plant, and upgraded the plants water stream reclaim system. This was done to increase reliability of the drinking water to continue to meet demands through the year 2030. This is so comforting to know because it is the water that I am drinking on a daily basis. I am glad to know that my community and my local public health professionals understand the importance of clean tap water and are willing to put in the funds to invest in such an important cause.

  2. Hello Tina,

    I am so happy to hear that your local government is taking action and providing clean tap water to your community. I wish more cities would take after yours! People need to understand how important it is to have clean water, especially since there are third-world countries that do not even have access to clean water. Thank you!
