Urban Water Reuse
Water reuse is the use of reclaimed (or recycled) water from the Santa Rosa Sub-Regional Treatment System.
The City of Rohnert Park has been using recycled water to offset potable water supplies since 1988. An extensive system of pipes distributes recycled water to golf courses, parks, schools, and commercial properties.
Approximately 510 acres of land are irrigated with recycled water in Rohnert Park, offsetting more than 3 million gallons per day of potable water. Two City-owned 18-hole golf courses, Roberts Lake Park, Roberts Lake Road and the Park 'n Ride lot landscaped area, City parks, school grounds, and many private companies with lawn and landscaped areas are irrigated with the recycled water.
For more information about Rohnert Park's use of recycled water, or to find out if you can be connected to the distribution system, contact the City of Santa Rosa at (707) 543-3373.
Dedicated Irrigation Water Budget Program
The City provides a Landscape Water Use Report to most dedicated irrigation meter sites each billing period. The Report compares actual water use to the assigned water budget that is specific to each site. The water budget is determined based on the irrigated square foot measurements of the site (turf and non-turf) and local weather conditions.
For more information, contact the City Water Conservation Hotline at (707) 547-1906.
Large Landscape Water Use Surveys
The City is offering landscape water use surveys to commercial and mixed use customers that want to save water. The free outdoor water use assessment is conducted by a qualified independent contractor. Following this assessment, you will be provided with a specific, voluntary plan for the reduction of water use. This plan will focus especially on ways you can lower your water bill using methods that pay for themselves.
For more information or to sign up for a water use survey call (707) 547-1906.
