Adriana Trujillo on 20 Jan 16

Use of treated wastewater is growing in California, with the "disinfected tertiary" water helping with irrigation and dust control. Demand is expected to grow -- partly because the treated water is 75% cheaper than potable water -- but meeting that demand will require infrastructure upgrades. "Moving recycled water requires separate infrastructure running to the various facilities, and that is very expensive," said Jennifer Allen, director of public affairs for the Contra Costa Water District.
