Open house on SF water reuse

Santa Fe city government will hold an open house on Tuesday from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center to discuss the Santa Fe Water Reuse Feasibility Study (Feasibility Study), an engineering evaluation of water reuse alternatives conducted by the City of Santa Fe, Santa Fe County and the Bureau of Reclamation.

Experts will be on hand to answer questions.

The primary objective of this Feasibility Study is to identify the most beneficial use of reclaimed water from the City’s Paseo Real Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) and potential future flows from the County’s Quill WRF, while respecting downstream flow maintenance for cultural and ecological purposes on the lower Santa Fe River.

The Feasibility Study builds on a longstanding commitment to reuse water in Santa Fe, dating back to at least the 1950s. Today, up to about 1,500 AFY of recycled water is used to offset potable demands.
