About the Recycled Water Projects

The City of Hayward completed Phase 1 of its Recycled Water Project that provides recycled water for irrigation of parks, schools, roadway medians, and landscaped areas around commercial and industrial buildings. The effort involves a number of sub-projects which are further described below. For more information, visit the project website.

 

07709 - Recycled Water Master Plan (Fund 612): This project involves development of a master plan for the expansion of the City's recycled water program. Key components include identifying potential customers and their associated recycled water demands, recycled water supply, infrastructure expansion needs including pipeline routes, project alternative analysis, as well as cost estimates.

 

07066 & 07751 - Recycled Water Phase II (Fund 604 & 612): Phase II of the Recycled Water Project would include planning, design, and construction of an expanded recycled water system, including infrastructure to meet increased recycled water demands.

 

07766 - UV Disinfection System for Recycled Water (Fund 612): Currently, the recycled water project relies on the recycled water storage tank to provide the required detention time for regulatory compliance with disinfection requirements. This results in a reduction of the usable volume of the storage tank and adds operational complexity to the recycled water system. It is expected that with continued growth of the recycled water system and increasing demands, additional storage volume will be necessary to maintain consistent water deliveries. A UV disinfection system upstream of the recycled water tank would increase usable capacity from 500,000 gallons to 1,000,000 gallons.
