South Truckee Meadows Water Reclamation Facility

The STMWRF facility receives approximately 3.5 MGD from the city of Reno and Washoe County. This tertiary treatment plant has been undergoing significant expansion work to convert operation to a Bardenpho activated sludge process to enable a greater degree of biologic nutrient removal. Additional facilities are being added to increase total plant capacity from 4.5 MGD to 9.42 MGD. STMWRF has no surface water discharge as it is a 100% reuse facility, providing Category A effluent. Water is stored seasonally in the adjacent Huffaker reservoir which boasts nearly 2 billion gallons in effluent storage capacity.

1:15 pm – 3:15 pm
Limit 30 Attendees

Reno-Stead Water Reclamation Facility
